Amanda graduated from veterinary school at Purdue in 2001 with a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. She joined an equine practice in Michigan, where she worked for two years, before returning to the Lafayette area to join the Equine Community Practice team at Purdue. In 2007, she started working part time at Country Side (then Country Critter Care). In 2011 she became a Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP). Amanda’s passions include surgery, lameness, and dentistry. She loves all animals and enjoys both ambulatory equine practice, as well as this close-knit, laid-back, high-quality small animal practice. Amanda keeps busy outside of work with her three children. They have a small farm on the south side of Lafayette with three horses, a mini donkey, four dogs, seven cats, a fat toad, two ducks, and a flock of chickens. Her fiancé, Dr. Myk Bray, who is also a veterinarian and chiropractor, has plans to add goats to the menagerie in the near future. Amanda and her horse, Marty, like to event in their free time and love the cross-country phase best. She is also an avid reader [citation].
