My name is Amanda Cattoi and I grew up locally in the small town of Bakerton, PA, with my parents and two siblings.  I went to Cambria Heights High School, which is where I discovered my love of science and initially considered a future in medicine.

 

I pursued those interests at Juniata College in Huntingdon, where I majored in Biology and did my work-study as a research assistant in the Microbiology lab.  From there, I attended med school at Penn State in Hershey, where the scent of chocolate and the sound of roller coasters became mentally linked to giant textbooks for me. 

 

I was drawn to family medicine because of the variety of what you can do.  I like seeing patients of all ages with all types medical problems.  I am also very excited about being able to foster long term relationships with my patients.  I have special interests in rural medicine and women's health.

 

With my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, reading, watching TV and movies, and rooting for the Pittsburgh sports teams (Let's go Pens!).
