Our Team
Meet Our Advocates
Our team at Nevada Fertility Advocates is dedicated to championing the cause of infertility awareness and support. With a collective commitment to making a difference, we strive to empower individuals and couples on their fertility journey.
Amanda Klein
Founder
Amanda Klein founded Nevada Fertility Advocates in 2020 as Mrs. Nevada, inspired by her personal battle with infertility. Through her journey, she experienced not only the physical and emotional challenges of infertility but also the overwhelming financial burden faced by so many seeking care.
Amanda is a longtime healthcare marketing executive who has worked for some of the largest healthcare organizations in the country. In 2025, she partnered with Nevada Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro during the legislative session to advance the Nevada Building Families Act, which received bipartisan support and passed through both the Senate and Assembly. She is passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate infertility and working with policymakers and employers to lower costs, expand coverage, and eliminate barriers to treatment.
Jessica Woods
President
After spending more than two decades as a dental practitioner, Jessica's professional interests evolved into a passion for public policy and advocacy aimed at helping vulnerable populations access healthcare services.
Her personal interest in infertility work stems from being personally impacted by the disease along with so many others. Her hope is that through the organization’s educational initiative and legislative advocacy, many would no longer have to struggle as a result of this devastating disease.
Kendahl Servino
Board Member
During her last semester of college, Kendahl was diagnosed with Stage I breast cancer. Prior to chemotherapy, she was recommended to look into fertility preservation in order to save the possibility of starting a family in the future. At The Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Kendahl underwent oocyte cryopreservation before beginning what would be the first out of six rounds of chemotherapy.
Kendahl aims to use her experience as a cancer survivor to be an advocate for her future patients and the best healthcare provider she can be. She recently became involved with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Her interest in spreading breast cancer awareness among young adults led her to create the “For YOUth” social media campaign during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. She also aims to use her experience to speak out about fertility preservation. Joining the Nevada Fertility Advocates team is her first step in doing so.
Lauren Mangigian
Board Member
Lauren Mangigian became involved with Nevada Fertility Advocates after witnessing two of her closest friends navigate the challenges of infertility.

Lauren is also an accomplished design contractor and resides in Summerlin with her family.

Jennifer Peterson
Board Member
Jenni Peterson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Intern with a unique path into the field. Before becoming a therapist, she spent 17 years in the television and film industry as a producer and editor. In her mid-30s, she met and married her husband, and together they faced an infertility diagnosis shortly after their wedding. After enduring seven rounds of IVF and several losses, Jenni chose to change careers and become the therapist she once searched for but couldn’t find.
Today, Jenni combines professional expertise with lived experience, specializing in supporting individuals and couples through infertility, perinatal and postpartum challenges, and major life transitions. Her own path to motherhood gave her deep insight into how complex and isolating the process can be, and she is passionate about creating safe, compassionate spaces for women and families. Jenni is honored to serve the infertility community both through her therapy practice and now as a board member.
