Amanda Jepsen
Hello, I’m Amanda Jepsen. My husband and I are both Manhattan natives who are proud to call this place home. We just celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. I am a stepmom to two great teenagers - one of whom just graduated high school! I am an older toddler mom to our two year old. We also have a big fur baby - Mac, who just turned 9 years young. I’m a Registered Nurse, working most of my career in the Emergency Room, but currently working in Psychiatry. I enjoy a good cup of coffee, cooking with my husband, and playing with our daughter.
