Amanda Dolasinski

Amanda Dolasinski has spent a lot of time looking into sewers, riding in the Weinermobile and asking people on the street to smell a mystery scent.

It's all part of the gig, though.

Amanda is the social media manager for the United States Patent and Trademark Office. She creates content for USPTO's Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn profiles highlighting American innovation and creativity to educate the public on the importance of protecting intellectual property. Previously, she was the #InfluenSewer – that is, communications officer – for the City of Alexandria's Stormwater Management Division and Flood Action Alexandria program tasked with messaging about city projects to mitigate flooding. And long before that, she was a newspaper and magazine reporter, notably covering the Army and 82nd Airborne Division. Amanda is a graduate of The Ohio State University.
