Bio
Dr. Rahshana Price-Isuk
Amanda was a pleasure to work with at Neighborhood Healthsource. She was a great communicator across all departments, personalities, and skill levels. She became a great manager who was well respected. Her vision for big picture goals but attention to detail and planning allowed us to be successful in many areas. A great teammate!

Amanda is a gifted fundraiser and an invaluable teammate. I could easily detail a long list of areas of her proficiency, or examples of projects or processes she readily improved; but I think the true brilliance of Amanda comes from her heart. Amanda cares deeply about the causes in which she chooses to invest her time, and genuinely values her colleagues and their well-being. She is authentic and sincere, and as a result builds strong relationships that lead to mutually beneficial results. Though we no longer share an office, I consistently seek Amanda's counsel and advice on a range of topics. In short, Amanda makes things better, and she gets things done. I give her an unqualified recommendation as a candidate for leadership on any level.
