Prior to starting Village Vets, she has worked in small animal general practices, mixed animal practices, as well as emergency hospitals. Dr. Amanda is passionate about providing an array of services to include preventative care, medicine and infectious disease treatment, as well as trauma and surgical needs her clients have while focusing on the best patient-care and client communication. She is always ready for an adventure and strives to stay on top of the most advanced and up to date medicine. She aims to meet the dynamic needs of the local community as this clinic takes a shape of it's own.

Since returning to NY in 2019 her family has grown to include 2 children, 3 dogs, 3 cats and a small flock of chickens. She has taken on coaching T-ball for her daughter and her children now attend local elementary schools. Outside of work and mom-life Dr. Amanda enjoys hiking, gardening, and trying new recipes...which her kids rarely eat.

Animals have always been her passion since she was a little girl from family pets through the years, volunteering with local animal rescues, and working at previous veterinary practices. In her free time, she adores traveling and spending time with family and friends, spending summer days on the beach, playing softball, and of course, snuggle time with her “rescue” crew made up of 2 brindle mix gals Luna & Puppy, 2 frisky felines Stella & Ping, and let’s not forget the notorious (guinea) “P.I.G” Bam-Bam!

Valentina has worked as sales representative at Zoetis Animal health as well. In her free time, she enjoys playing sports, cooking, traveling, and going hiking. She recently moved to the United States with her family and where she looks forward to pursuing her career in the veterinary field.
