Meet Amanda!

Hi All!

My name is Amanda and I have been working for the Brien Center since May 2016 - my fourth year at the agency is this month! I have grown into many different roles since being with this organization. I first started as a Substance Abuse Educator for the South County School District. I then moved my way up to becoming the Coordinator of that program and now I am a Case Manager at Taconic High School full time.

I went to school at SUNY Plattsburgh for Psychology so I had always known my passion was to work in the mental health field being able to help people. I ended up lucky in getting to work with young adults while they navigate school and life on a daily basis. 

I grew up in Pittsfield and was raised to love the outdoors and everything nature. I am an avid plant enthusiast and have over 12 different types of plants in my home! Hiking is another passion of mine and have hiked almost all the peaks in Berkshire County with my friends and family. I also have always loved animals; I have two cats, named Piper and Moshi, who are both rescues. Berkshire County has a lot of culture and beauty if you stop and look around to find it! I hope our program and website can shed some light on the amazing things to do here! ENJOY !!
