She has extensive experience working with patients that have sustained injuries at work, post-motor vehicle accidents, and in sport. From her work at Peace Arch Hospital, she has developed interests in rehabilitation for stroke, cardiovascular disorders, neurological disorders, Parkinson’s Disease, and the acute care of older adults/the elderly. She formerly worked in the in-patient unit of the Leukemia/Bone Marrow Transplant Program of BC at Vancouver General Hospital. With her well-rounded practice in both the clinical and hospital setting, Amanda is very experienced with helping patients recover from their injuries, improve their quality of life, and optimize their long-term functioning. She is fluent in English and conversational Cantonese. Outside of work, Amanda expresses her artistic side through film and theatre acting, improv comedy, and music.

She also enjoys staying active in the gym and can be found hiking the trails of Metro Vancouver with her husband in the summer.
