Staff Profile – Amanda Salerno

HOMETOWN
Philadelphia, PA

FAMILY
I have four younger brothers back in Philly.

EDUCATION
I graduated from UT San Antonio in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree and I’m currently pursuing a master’s degree at UT Austin.

HOW DID YOU GET INTO YOUR FIELD?
I’m not sure I even have a field yet. I still consider myself a recent graduate, so I think I need more time to experience and explore different opportunities.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH CORDILLERA RANCH?
I started September 2012.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ASPECT OF WORKING IN THE HILL COUNTRY?
My favorite part is being surrounded by nature, since I grew up in a city. I get overly excited on my drive to the office when I pass fields with goats and cows.

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES/INTERESTS?
I spend nearly every spare minute I have reading. I almost listed my book collection under ‘Family.’ I’m also extremely passionate about music and traveling for concerts. I’ve been all over the world to see my favorite bands on tour.

WHAT BAND HAVE YOU FOLLOWED AROUND THE WORLD?
Hanson.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE SPORT?
As a Philadelphian, if I don’t say football I will not be permitted back into the city. (Secretly, I’ve also been getting into soccer lately.)

FAVORITE SPORTING EVENT YOU’VE ATTENDED?
I’m going to preemptively say my favorite sporting event will be on December 29, 2013 when I see the Eagles crush the Cowboys in Arlington!

FAVORITE QUOTE?
“Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.” – Bertrand Russell

FAVORITE MOVIE AND WHY?
28 Days Later, because nothing beats a good horror movie.

Birding in Cordillera Ranch

Bird watching can be a joyful experience. The sounds of birds frolicking outside your Cordillera Ranch home can be a great addition to your garden and landscape. Bird feeders are the quickest and easiest way to attract our winged friends to your yard. If you have ever visited the Outfitter Center at Cordillera Ranch, you’ll have no doubt about how much I enjoy feeding birds and having them around the entire year.

Manager's Message

Wow, what a time of year!

Spring never disappoints, with warmer weather, longer days and prettier everything, it’s easy to feel a sense of rejuvenation and rebirth during these splendid months. While we’re only a handful of months into the year, and there’s a feeling of a fresh start, it also feels as though some things are coming to conclusion.

Broadway Shines Bright: Spectacular Theatre Nights Begin at The Club

There’s nothing quite like the magic of Broadway — especially when it’s enjoyed with friends, great food and front-row seats. Our Club’s Broadway Night outings have become a beloved tradition, offering members an unforgettable evening of culture, camaraderie and convenience.

Golf

Play-A-Hole #7

The 7th hole at Cordillera Ranch is our second Par-3 that you will encounter and can look pretty daunting from the tee. The green slopes away from you and to the right while being guarded by a large bunker on the front/right side and a couple of bunkers on the left side. In case you thought long was safe … it’s not — there’s another bunker there, too!
