Amanda is always there to provide a helping hand with a reassuring smile. Amanda rises to any occasion with professionalism. She fixes issues in a timely manner and will escalate them to the correct teams when needed. She educates staff as she helps them with a problem. Furthermore, she will hold people accountable in a way that is gentle, but firm. She never comes across as belittling. Instead, her call for change or action is done so in a way that is empowering.

Amanda truly embodies the RCMS spirit—dedicated, compassionate, mission-driven, and always ready to support her team and community. For all of these reasons—and more—we’re honored to recognize her as this Employee of the Quarter.
