"I am a full-time banquet chef at the Briarhurst Manor Estate in Manitou Springs, under the direction of our new head chef, Sean Evans," she told Bored Panda. "I'm also a full-time student at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, online for now."

Referring to herself as the bionic bachelorette, Mandy jokingly said that her dating life is truly sparse. "[But] humor aside, I'm picky. It's gonna take a special kind of man to tie me down," she added. "You know, dating with double leg amputation is interesting, sometimes you have to draw a picture. Let people know it's okay to joke, and I encourage it."

"In 2014, I was involved in an incident where I was struck by a locomotive, severing my legs just above the knee." The doctors initially thought she had tried to kill herself, and by the time she could explain the situation, it was too late to test her for date rape drugs. At first, Mandy avoided online dating after her accident because she felt too self-conscious but eventually decided to give it a try after watching a video about dating as a disabled woman on YouTube.

"I don't really like to think of myself as disabled, just different. Dark humor has always been a release for me, and I like that I can make someone else's day better with a funny joke."

"I legitimately enjoy getting on to troll and trade jokes [on the app], and I've made quite a few friends all across the county. But I have had a couple of weird experiences as well. I would encourage everyone to be careful about any social app. 'Till someone holds my gaze, I think I'll dub myself the bionic bachelorette."

"Smile, remember to smell the roses. Follow me on Instagram if you like. I crawl around and do cool stuff sometimes, and it's legit."
