Mandy grew up in St. Louis, MO, but came to Indiana for college and hasn’t really left since. Initially, Goshen College brought her here and she graduated from there with a BA in history and molecular biology. While there, she studied in Costa Rica for a semester, an experience that developed her passion for travel and learning how people live in other parts of the world. Goshen College also nurtured her desire to work with the underserved and after graduating Mandy spent a year in San Francisco volunteering for an agency that worked with women and children with HIV. That experience cemented her desire to go to medical school and serve her community in that capacity. She returned to Indiana for that and graduated from Indiana University School of Medicine in 2008.
After completing her family medicine residency at Memorial Hospital in South Bend, she moved back to Goshen and practiced there for nine years. While there, she enjoyed caring for patients from birth to death. She also …volunteered at a local clinic that cared for the underserved and served on their board of directors. Many of her patients spoke only Spanish and she enjoyed practicing her Spanish with them.
Throughout her career, Mandy found caring for those dealing with complicated medical issues, especially at the end of life, particularly fulfilling, and she decided to obtain further training in this. Thus, she completed a fellowship in Hospice and Palliative Medicine at Indiana University in 2021 and joined the Community Health Network palliative care team thereafter.
In her free time, Mandy enjoys hiking, looking after her yard, and traveling near and far (pandemic permitting).
