Amanda

Amanda grew up here in Wake Forest with her parents and many pets. Being an only child, all of the animals she had throughout the years truly felt like family to her. This upbringing sparked a deep interest in everything animal-related, so when it came time to make a career choice, becoming a veterinary technician seemed like the perfect fit!

While Amanda’s degree from ECU may be in psychology and criminal justice, a job as a kennel technician would ultimately change her path. She knew she needed to follow her passion, so in 2022, she became a veterinary technician and joined the Tuscan Ridge Animal Hospital team in August of 2023. Amanda’s favorite part of the job is working with new puppies and kittens and seeing them grow with every appointment. She also enjoys the challenge of more complex cases.

Outside of work, Amanda still resides in Wake Forest with her boyfriend Nic, her best friend Link, who is an Australian Shepherd, and her sweet kitty, Daphne. Link loves to go crazy at the dog park but also can’t resist a good nap with Amanda. Daphne loves to play with anything and adores her Temptations cat treats.
