Divisional Nursing Partner
BluePearl
North Branch, Minnesota, United States
Amanda has been a Certified Veterinary Technician in Minnesota since 2008 when she graduated from Argosy University with her Associate's degree in Veterinary Technology. She spent most of her technical career working in internal medicine and oncology with BluePearl. Over the years she flexed into people leadership, becoming a supervisor and then technician manager for her hospital. It was in that role that she developed her passion for empowering technicians, teaching, and training, which led her to pursue her Bachelors degree in Psychology and then her Masters degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology where her thesis work centered around on-the-job veterinary technician training. In 2019 she became BluePearl's Regional Training Partner supporting 30+ BluePearl locations across the US, and in 2022 became the Divisional Nursing Partner for the central division of Bluepearl, expanding her support beyond just learning and training to medical quality, associate career pathing, patient care efficiency support, and more! This role allows her to live out her passion for elevating the veterinary technician role and working to ensure that there are career pathing opportunities available for technicians that are sustainable across the life of their career. She has been with BluePearl since 2010 when her home hospital in Minnesota joined the BluePearl family. She also serves on the Minnesota Association of Veterinary Technicians Board of Directors and volunteers as a mentor with Mentor Vet Tech. She lives with her animal family in Minnesota which includes a poodle/bichon mix, four siamese cats, and a menagerie of aquatic pets including axolotls, frogs, urchins, and fish. She can often be found curled up with a good book or relaxing on her kayak in the land of 10,000 lakes.
