In 2015, I began my career in tissue banking with MiMedx as a laboratory technician processing birth tissue into final tissue products. A few years later I transitioned over into their Quality Assurance department taking on a wide variety of duties from reviewing tissue processing records to managing company wide inventory of all tissue products. In 2022, I moved to Colorado and took on the role of Regulatory Affairs Coordinator at Donor Alliance. Since my time at Donor Alliance I have become a certified Quality Auditor to help better serve my role in helping to heal and save lives. 

Amanda Davis began her career in the donation industry in 2011 as a phlebotomist for blood banks. She subsequently earned her certification as a surgical technologist and assisted surgeons during procedures at a Level 1 trauma hospital. Since 2016, she has been dedicated to the tissue donation industry and currently serves as a Quality Assurance Coordinator at Donor Alliance where she is responsible for maintaining donor records to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, conducts technical reviews of donor charts and tissue recovery documentation, collects and reviews medical records, and serves as a liaison to tissue processors and affiliates for donor follow-up activities and requests. 

I began my tissue banking career in 2017 as a Tissue Processing Technician at AlloSource. I gained hands-on experience in allograft tissue production, packaging, and sterilizing. A year later I became a Tissue Processing Technician Technical Expert and trained new staff within the department. In 2021 I began my career in proteomics at SomaLogic, running assays and preparing samples from clients. During my time there I became a Senior Laboratory Associate and gained knowledge in different areas including problem solving, quality management, and time management. My journey with Donor Alliance, Inc. began in late 2024 as a Quality Management System Coordinator. Within this new role I will continue to help heal and save lives through organ and tissue donation.
