BIO

Early Life:

Amanda (Jones) Steen has deep Searcy County roots. Her father, Ancil Jones, son of Garvin and Edna (Taylor) Jones hails from Snowball. Her mother, Katharine LaVerne (Beavers) Jones, daughter of Allen and Janet (Killion) Beavers hails from Marshall.  It is not common knowledge that Amanda has deep Searcy County roots. While she grew up in Mountain Home, she spend summers and holidays in Marshall and Snowball with her family and holds fond memories of playing on the farm, fishing in her Papa Beavers’ pond, making mud pies under the hickory tree on the Taylor/Jones homestead, and learning how to cook and bake from her grandmothers. 

 

How she got started: 

Amanda knew she wanted to be a doctor at the very early age of 4 years old. She would play doctor on her family, and give Sweet Tarts as their medicine. Fast forward 25 years, and she gained acceptance to Columbia University in New York City, with plans to attend medical school. Her plans changed radically when she found out that she was pregnant with her oldest daughter. She changed her major from medicine to nursing, and turned down her opportunity to receive an Ivy League education, so she could be more present as a mother while attending nursing classes. 

 

Career:

During her nursing and APRN career, she has specialized in cardiac, women’s health, urgent care, and mental health. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she served the states of Arkansas and Indiana as a primary care provider, performing rounds on COVID positive units. 

 

Family: 

John and Amanda (Jones) Steen were married in 2016, and moved back to John's family ranch to run their cattle ranch full time in 2017. They have two beautiful daughters, and get to pass on the Southern traditions that have been passed to them through the generations. As a family, they enjoy baking, riding four-wheelers, fishing, swimming, exploring, and traveling. They love to share new experiences and new adventures with their children to broaden their horizons.
