Amanda earned a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Utah. Early volunteer experiences sparked her passion for supporting individuals and families through difficult life transitions and ultimately led her to pursue a career in social work. She later returned to the U of U to complete her Master of Social Work, with a concentration in aging.
After graduate school, Amanda worked in hospice, where she developed a strong appreciation for person-centered care and supporting the whole family. She brings that approach to her work with the residents she serves in memory care. She finds deep fulfillment in the relationships she develops with residents and families and in learning each person’s unique life story. She takes pride in being an advocate for each resident, making sure they feel known, cared for, and valued.
Outside of work, Amanda loves hiking and gardening. She spends much of her free time outside with her golden retriever, Ace, and is very close with her family, especially her nieces and nephews. She also enjoys slowing down with creative projects like watercolor painting and cross-stitching.
