The majority of women in my family are health care professionals, starting with my grandparents, who immigrated to England from Jamaica in the 1950s to support the NHS. The need to care for and treat people feels like a part of my DNA, and I wanted to become a doctor from a very young age.

Being part of the community, treating entire families, and preventing disease are what drew me to general practice and family medicine. Through my hospital rotations, I found that I really enjoyed all types of medical specialties.

As my career has progressed, I’ve discovered a real passion for health education. I am a proponent of individuals taking control of their own bodies and having the knowledge to advocate for themselves. Simple daily behaviors can massively impact health, and shifting away from pharmaceutical-centered to lifestyle medicine is a primary goal of mine.

I enjoy sharing aspects of my life and spreading helpful information on health via social media — you can find me on Instagram and YouTube under “Life with Dr. Amanda.” I have also set up several community-based classes on topics such as menopause, cancer, mental health, and more.

I’m committed to creating engaging and relevant health education resources, especially in the field of women’s health, which historically has not been a priority. I’m so grateful to be collaborating with Flo in this endeavor.

Outside of my work as a doctor, I’m the director of events for Black Female Doctors UK and co-host of “So Sis Podcast.” I love to travel and often find myself planning our next trip whilst still away on a current one! To unwind, you can find me in the kitchen doing some culinary experimentation, as I love to cook. I have two very young daughters and am married to a secondary school teacher. Being with my family is my happy place.
