Amanda’s Bio
Hello, my name is Amanda and I would like to take a minute to introduce myself. I graduated SUNY Brockport in 2000 with honors with a Therapeutic Recreation degree. I love working with people and knew I wanted to do that while being able to make a difference in someone's life. My past working history has provided many rich opportunities to serve others in sales, schooling, and long term care. I have a passion both for the younger generation and for the older generation. Working in these capacities I have been able to both make that difference daily in many lives, but also have been able to be a trusted, professional advocate. In long term care, I was able to bring daily enrichment to my residents lives. This would include many opportunities to socialize, reminiscing, cooking, sensory experiences, music and pet therapy, entertainment, and community outings. In school, I was able to work both in many whole classroom settings and 1:1 with students. I have been able to reinforce skills and instruction and enrich many students experiences. My background working in school and long term care has given me experience caring for the whole individual. All of our stories are different and accessing and learning to meet someone where they are is critical. I feel blessed to have been able to serve in this capacity for so many individuals over the years. I look forward to future opportunities to make a difference in the lives of others.
