Testimonial
The year Amandah started with the Parma Animal Shelter, Inc., we had a very utilitarian website that was put together by various individuals and it showed. The shelter had no social media exposure except for a basic Facebook page. PAS, Inc. now reaches thousands of people locally and around the country thanks to her social media content, blogs, email marketing, etc.
Amandah was instrumental in helping me to find a web developer and continues to be the liaison between our organization and the webmaster. Amandah has also helped the Parma Animal Shelter, Inc. receive a $10,000 Petco Foundation grant and $5,000 Lowell Fund grant and contributed to the grant committee with her expertise in writing for grant applications and utilization reports.
Carol Rini, Former President of the Parma Animal Shelter, Inc.
