Amanda joined Impact Health shortly before the Healthy Opportunities Pilot (HOP) launched and has been instrumental in building our network of more than 60 human service organizations. She was drawn to Healthy Opportunities because of the excitement surrounding the pilot and its groundbreaking impact on individuals and agencies across Western North Carolina (WNC).

Before joining Impact Health, Amanda spent nine years helping community members connect to a variety of resources to address critical social care needs. This experience gave her tremendous insight into our region’s needs and the local agencies working to address them. 

Before settling in WNC, Amanda lived in Mississippi, where she worked to connect community members with affordable housing and domestic violence prevention resources.

Amanda has a Master of Social Work degree and a certificate in nonprofit management from Boston University. She has called WNC home for over a decade and loves raising her young children in the mountains.
