Mandy Edwards - Practice Manager
Mandy Edwards spent her early years in California and Georgia as a child but found her way home to Arkansas at the age of 14. After moving to Arkansas she discovered that her family’s roots began here before they traveled west during the Dust Bowl.
Mandy graduated from the University of Central Arkansas with a BA in Writing and Speech Communications. She has over 20 years of managerial experience spanning over several occupational fields.

Spending time with her husband watching movies, hiking, and canoeing are her favorite ways to relax.
