Amanda Dufficy
Hospital Manager

Amanda is Sunrise Boulevard Animal Hospital's Hospital Manager. She is a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) with an Associate of Science Degree in Veterinary Technology. 

Amanda joined Sunrise Boulevard Animal Hospital in 2017 as a surgery technician and quickly became inspired by anesthesia and pain management. She is passionate about leadership, compassion, empathy, promoting the human/animal bond and advocating for patient health

Her love for animals goes far beyond the veterinary hospital and has a deep passion for rescue work and advocacy. When not championing patient care or mentoring the team, Amanda is likely off-the-grid—paddleboarding, kayaking, hiking, or cheering in the stands at a baseball game.
