I'm Amanda. I'm a friend, a baker, a mom, and I love to tell stories. 

​

I've spent most of my career building communications strategies that engage stakeholders and help brands stay relevant to their audiences.

​

I always thought I would be a lawyer. Or a teacher. Then I was definitely going to be a journalist. But in my junior year of college, I spent a lot of time writing creative non-fiction and signed up for a public relations course taught by an an adjunct professor who led communications for several high profile companies in Pittsburgh. I realized there were a lot of ways to tell a story and that finding the right message for the right audience at the right time is extremely rewarding. 

​

My work is focused mostly in higher education, specifically in areas where equity is a priority and access is the strategy. I would love to talk your ear off about the importance of tearing down obstacles for adult and marginalized learners and how investing in people is never the wrong move.

​

Other things I enjoy: reading, playing with my kids, hiking, cat rescue, and sitting around talking about life with the people I love.
