Staff Spotlight - Amanda Pratt

I work in the Pediatric Division of Medical Genetics and Genomics, and so far I've done a variety of office responsibilities depending on the day! This is my first position within UI/UI healthcare, and I only started in January.

I have two kids (see also: goons), my son, Sawyer, is 9 (10 in April!) and my daughter, Aria, turns 6 on January 29th. We also have two dogs, Gus (who is a GSD/PB mix and is all but an 80lb cat) and Panda (who is a GSHP/Blue Heeler mix and a total klutz).

On the off chance I get free time, I like to tackle home projects, do crafty projects or puzzles, and if it's nice enough spend time outside with the all the babies.

Favorite meal or restaurant? Sushi, tacos, pasta, cheese...food. My favorite food is food.

Favorite book or movie? My favorite movie is Forrest Gump or Home Alone.

Fun fact: I hiccup every day. Literally every. single. day.
