In this episode of the Public School Podcast, Sara Hornick and Bobbi Schaefbauer sit down with Amanda Christensen, a special education program specialist who proudly describes herself as the district’s special ed help desk. Amanda shares her journey from Walmart management to education, how she found her purpose working with students, and why humor and humanity matter in some of the hardest conversations families face. The conversation explores early intervention, mental health, workforce development, IEP meetings, and the deep heart behind special education. Honest, funny, and deeply human, this episode shines a light on the people who never truly clock out and who work every day to do what’s best for kids.
