Amanda enjoys serving seniors by providing opportunities for support and enrichment. She feels it is an honor to be a part of people’s lives during their senior years and enjoys getting to know those who enjoy the Center’s resources and activities. Her goals are to increase awareness of resources, develop enriching programs, and to hear and share the stories of our local seniors.

Amanda oversaw the Skagit County Senior Nutrition Program for six years, before being hired as the Center’s Program Coordinator. During that time, she built relationships and connections, provided quality service to a diverse group of clients, worked alongside volunteers, and contributed daily to the unique atmosphere of the Anacortes Senior Activity Center.

Amanda spent five years as a caregiver for seniors in assisted living; during that time, she found opportunities to lead and develop a variety of activities. While working toward her B.S, she spent a year working for Central Washington University’s student newspaper as a Senior Reporter and Section Editor.

Amanda enjoys being involved in the community and has spent many years volunteering for food banks, women’s shelters, animal shelters, LGBTQ organizations, churches, and the March for Meals committee, which raises funds for Meals on Wheels.
