Hi, I’m Amanda — a writer, educator, marketer, and experience designer all in on empowering young leaders for future impact.

I create spaces where education, design, and empathy meet.

I’m a communicator and creative with expertise in meaningful experiential learning design, insightful cross-channel marketing, and authentic global education partnerships. My work pushes boundaries with imaginative campaigns that reimagine the future of education.

I am particularly invested in life transitions and gap years.

It all really started on a trip to Fiji as a 16-year-old. I have since lived and worked in New York, Washington, D.C., London, the English countryside, and Mexico City. My latest adventure was to Antarctica, where reaching the literal end of the world gave me a profound perspective on the future of our planet.

Helping young people find their purpose is my purpose. I wholeheartedly believe that every young person should take purposeful time of exploration to find theirs.
