While earning her religious studies degree at Hendrix College, Amanda learned an amazingly useful skill: the ability to talk to anyone about any topic. She began her career of 'giving back' in the founding corps of City Year Little Rock - which was followed by six very full years helping the Women's Foundation of Arkansas move into a new decade. Now working from home as an independent contractor, she is able to focus her philanthropic efforts within her community. In addition to her volunteer roles, Amanda is currently serving as the Growing Healthy Communities project director for the ArCOP.
Amanda is passionate about enjoying a whole life and helping others empower themselves.
