About Amanda Sanford

Growing up, I always plagued my mind with what I would do when I was older. My initial thought was nursing but once I hit college I quickly discovered that was not for me.(Shout out to the phenomenal nurses out there!) I knew I wanted to be involved in a process that helped others but in a non-conventional way. Insert: Recruiting! In my current role, I search for folks that are excited to jump in and make an impact in our Service Centers and share our product with customers! My goal is to provide support and make the end to end recruitment process as fun and seamless as possible. When I’m not building up my pipeline, I am a 24/7 dog and cat mom jamming out to Beyonce, IYKYK. I also enjoy playing video games, reading, and spending time with my friends!
