Mandy Thaner is the Program Manager that oversees the Texas State programming. She obtained her Bachelors in Social Work with a minor in Psychology from the University of North Texas. Prior to graduating, she accepted her first full time position with a North Texas nonprofit running a dropout prevention program in Title I Schools. Her four years of service involved working directly with students implementing and coordinating services that assisted them in meeting their academic, social, and basic needs. Over the last five years, Mandy ventured into other various avenues of assistance including healthcare consulting and business management. Full circle back in the nonprofit industry, Mandy is ecstatic to be back in the realm of work she is most passionate about.
Outside of work, you can find Mandy enjoying live music, venturing around a market, nose deep in a book, or snuggling her best pup Winnie watching a favorite show. Born and raised in Dallas, TX, she’s never been happier to officially call herself an Austin resident.
