Amanda came to OU in the summer of 2023. For the first 8 years of her career, she worked as an athletic trainer in a variety of settings in many states including South Carolina, Texas, and Illinois. She started her career in higher education and student support in Fall 2021 and has served first and second year students in their transition to college, major and career exploration, and teaching first-year experience courses. Some of her favorite things include spending time with her husband, daughter, and dog, watching reality television, baking and eating treats, reading, and exploring Norman and OKC.
My favorite part of working with new students is seeing their "lightbulb" moment! When they're able to connect their passions, major choice, or career plans and be excited about their education goals is truly the best.
Don't be afraid to pivot! If things aren't working out, try something else and ask someone for help.
