THE TEAM

Amanda Smith

I was born and raised in Minnesota. I graduated from MSAD and am Deaf. In my free time, I enjoy my hobbies and raise my two deaf children. I play sports such as softball basketball, and recreational volleyball. Summer is my favorite season!  Working for a company that has a mission to support the deaf community is very important to me!

Tim Riker and Amanda Smith are smiling on camera and sharing an important message for the community:

Hello, I am Amanda Smith. Hello, I am Tim Riker.

Amanda: The Deaf Community Support Center (DCSC) has ordered more COVID-19 test kits. Now, you will wonder why I am holding up a zip lock bag and Tim has a BinaxNOW box in his hand. Really, the reason we have the zip lock bags is because of the box.

Tim: Yeah, we got 10 test kits in each box...

Amanda: So that means we had to separate out the test kits in the box into individual zip lock bags, so there are 2 test kits each. It might seem strange, but that's what they look like.

Tim and Amanda open up the BinaxNOW box to pull out items in it.

Amanda: Each zip lock bag will contain the following:
2 nasal swabs for the test.
2 droppers to put droplets into the test cards.
2 test cards that fold out, have a place to put the droplets and insert the nasal swabs.
And, of course, we included hand sanitizer as well.
The test kits we included will expire on April 14, 2026, as written on the zip lock bags.
We will be handing out the test kits at our booth at Fall Adventures hosted in Charles Thompson Hall. Feel free to stop by and take one, which we will be giving out for free.

Amanda: See you there!
Tim: See you there! Take care!
