AMANDA GRAYBEAL, PRACTICE MANAGER

“I was born and raised in Pulaski County, graduating from Pulaski County High School in 2008 and New River Community College in 2012 with an Associate’s Degree in Arts and Sciences. I live locally with my husband, Don, with our four fur babies. I love to spend time with my family, do crafts, read, and go hiking.

I have always had a deep love of animals that I am so thankful to be able to put to good use. Throughout middle and high school, I concentrated on choir, art and theater, not really knowing what I wanted to be when I grew up, switching from wanting to be an opera singer to a forensic scientist...or even an opera singing forensic scientist! That’s a thing, right?

I’ve worked in various fields from childcare, to receptionist, to staffing, to payroll and administrative assistant and office management, but I really feel I have finally found a future here at Tipton Ridge Veterinary Medical Center as their practice manager. Working here has been the best experience, with continued opportunities to learn and grow with the practice. I have definitely found my home and work family here and could not imagine life without them!
