Tiffany has been involved in veterinary medicine since 2013 and absolutely loves the field. Since the age of 4, she has always dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. She was able to gain her experience as a veterinary technician working at multiple practices over the years and wouldn’t have it any other way. She is in the process of completing her licensing requirements while starting her 4th year at FMAC as a dedicated technician and assistant with Dr Cohen. Clients can trust her to give up to date information, attention and special care to their pets while at FMAC for outpatient/ inpatient procedures and surgeries.

She is especially adept at feline restraint and dental procedures!

Outside of her clinic work, she enjoys adventures with her 4 children, her husband and 3 dogs. She definitely has a lot of love to give and this definitely shows with our patients and clients.

Amanda is a Queens native who has loved animals for as long as she can remember. Growing up, her home always had furry, feathered, and scaled friends! She embraced this affinity for animals and has held positions in various aspects of animal care since 2012.

She has worked in emergency hospitals, house call services and is now the newest addition to Fresh Meadows Animal Clinic. Amanda loves working in general practice medicine because of the opportunity it allows her to forge strong bonds with her patients and their parents. Her particular interests are client education, animal behavior, and surgery. She utilizes low stress/no stress handling to make the patient experience more comfortable and is always eager to converse with clients.

When she’s not at work Amanda enjoys reading, listening to true crime podcasts, and watching Korean horror movies. She has three rescue pets that keep her entertained (and very busy!).
