About Amanda: I grew up in Southern Minnesota and remembering visiting the Brainerd Lakes Area in my youth.

Favorite Part of your Job: I love coming to work knowing that I will be surrounded by a wonderful team of professionals whom I am happy to call my friends. I also enjoy seeing my clients grow in self confidence and find peace as they work through the challenges they are facing.
