Hello, I'm Amanda! 

A native of Kansas City, Missouri, but I have called the Peach State home for more than a decade. Just a month after accepting my college diploma, I moved halfway across the country to start my post-grad “dream job” in a city where I did not know a soul. In a matter of six years I went from a Collegiate Chapter President of a large Midwest university, to the Member Services Manager; supporting the membership experience for 160 collegiate chapters and 155 alumnae associations across the US and Canada.

I transferred this collegiate knowledge to the branding and creative services industry, serving as an account manager for a small agency; where my primary clientele were other Fraternity & Sorority headquarters. Here is where I was able to flourish in a more creative capacity, aiding in major brand renovations, website design/development and fundraising campaigns.

Fast forward to today, I took what some may call a hard left turn to the corporate world in the luxury automotive industry. What do collegiate services and cars have in common? In truth, very little. With the exception of a similar organizational structure and a commitment to continuing education… but on a much larger, global scale. Using my project management expertise, I now lead a national internal and external corporate communications strategy, managing multiple employee engagement platforms for more than 1,600 colleagues. 

My close friends and colleagues would describe me as dedicated and dependable, and at times letting my cup overflow. However, I thrive under pressure and am constantly looking forward to the next challenge. Outside of my “day job,” I translated 20+ years of dance training to the fitness industry, leading group workout classes at two different studios. (Yes, I have three jobs – see what I mean by cup overflowing?)

I’ve gotten to where I am today because of the network I’ve built and a few cheerleaders that have guided me along the way. If you are reading this, you are part of that network. Thanks for being here!
