Amanda Kay is a long-time nature-lover, but new to Northern Virginia and its wildlife. Before moving to Alexandria in 2022, she lived in Utah where she volunteered as the Education Committee Chairperson for Great Salt Lake Audubon and a Bird Docent for HawkWatch International. Prior to moving to Utah, she lived in Arizona where she volunteered with Audubon Arizona and Liberty Wildlife. After six years of volunteer work with wildlife conservation and rescue organizations, she decided to return to school and change career paths (from teaching art from her in-home studio to the wildlife conservation field). She is currently a grad student in the Global Field Program with Miami University and works as a naturalist and instructor for Fairfax County Park Authority at Burke Lake Park. She met Bonnie after interviewing her for a school project and was ecstatic to be invited to join the K2C team. She received her WCO permit several months later and feels honored to be learning from the best! 

Although her first love is birds, snakes are a close second. She enjoys birdwatching and “herping” and is quickly learning about the local wildlife. Her non-wildlife hobbies include kayaking, painting, crocheting, traveling, and spending time with her husband, two kids, and too many pets. She lives in Alexandria and can also service Arlington, Springfield, Mount Vernon, and surrounding areas.
