When not in the office, Mandy enjoys spending time with her family & friends, playing board games, cooking (and eating), baking artisan bread, bonfires (s’mores…. yum!), car-karaoke, gardening, boating, hiking, camping and exploring the country with her 2 pip-pups.

She has a big heart for animals and loves spending time with her two playful dogs, who keep her active and laughing. When she’s not caring for others, Avery enjoys experimenting with recipes in her kitchen and tending to her growing collection of houseplants. She also finds joy in cozy book nights and the occasional board game marathon with loved ones. No matter the setting, Avery is known for her warmth, creativity, and the genuine care she brings to every part of her life.
