Amanda graduated from the University of Toronto with a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy in 2022 and has been practicing in her hometown of Vancouver for the past three years. She works with children, youth, and adults across a variety of settings, helping clients overcome challenges, build practical skills, and achieve their goals so they can participate more fully in everyday life.

Amanda gained valuable experience working with clients through WorkSafeBC and ICBC, supporting individuals in rebuilding independence after injury. Through this work, she developed strong skills in functional assessments, cognitive rehabilitation, pain management, and return-to-work planning—expertise she continues to draw on to help clients achieve meaningful outcomes.

In pediatrics, Amanda works with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, sensory processing differences, and learning challenges. She focuses on helping children strengthen everyday skills, build confidence, and engage more successfully at home, school, and in their communities.

Outside of work, Amanda enjoys traveling, photography, trying new cuisines, skiing, scrapbooking, and spending time with family and friends.
