Amanda is a Licensed Practical Nurse with nearly 10 years of experience in high-intensity residential settings, intensive outpatient care with lodging, and outpatient clients residing in sober housing. She graduated from DCTC with a degree in Practical Nursing, which has allowed her to pursue her passion for working with individuals in these environments. Amanda believes everyone deserves a chance, whether it’s their second or fiftieth.
Initially, Amanda attended Metropolitan State University to study criminal justice with the goal of becoming a law enforcement officer. However, during her time working at a residential treatment center, she realized her career path was taking a different direction. She has since worked as a Trained Medication Assistant (TMA), Licensed Practical Nurse, and Nurse Manager in Substance Use Disorder (SUD) facilities.
Amanda has a 17-year-old son who is in his senior year of high school and is the center of her world. In her spare time, Amanda enjoys reading, solving puzzles, watching horror movies, and finding anything funny that can make her laugh.
