Amanda is a native of Sussex County Delaware. She was born and raised in Laurel, one of 4 children in a close family, where she still resides. She went to Sussex Technical High School. Then earned her associate’s degree as a physical therapist assistant from Delaware Tech. Amanda worked at Beebe Medical Center for 8 years as a physical therapist assistant while finishing her bachelor’s degree from Wilmington University. Her love of helping people brought her back to school in 2007 at University of Maryland Eastern Shore where she became a Physician Assistant. When she is not working, she likes to take her jeep on the beach; spoil her niece and nephews, and enjoy all that the coastal Delaware has to offer. The physician assistant profession offers many rewards. One of the most fulfilling aspects of the profession for Amanda is the simple “thank you” or hug from patients after they return to activities that they had difficulty with in the past.
