Hi, I’m Amanda — educator, marketer, writer, 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, and humankind.

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, a lifelong dream fulfilled.

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.
