After graduation, Amanda had the opportunity to work in the Toronto area in the field of Neurosurgery. Spending time in this specialty gave her an appreciation for the care and detail required to effectively treat skin and wounds. Her passion for wound care began after experiencing the satisfaction that came along with seeing patients improve under the compassion and care of a knowledgeable inter-professional team.

Amanda returned home to the Ottawa Valley area in 2016 where she enjoyed working at the Carleton Place Hospital for 7 years. Working as a Registered Nurse in a smaller community, she had the chance to treat and see all different types of diagnoses and patient problems. It became clear to her that many patients being admitted to the hospital could benefit from professional foot care. Amanda could see there was a correlation between hospital admission and improper foot care and became interested in pursuing a career more focused on helping people properly care for their skin and feet.

She is excited to begin her nursing foot care journey and collaborate with the other health care professionals at FIT Healthcare to help people within her own community.

On her days off, Amanda enjoys spending quality time with her family and friends and getting outdoors for gardening or hiking.
