Amanda is a proud alumna of Concord University, where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and Sociology with a focus on criminology, summa cum laude, in May 2022.

Currently, Amanda is in the final stages of completing a Master’s degree in Conflict Analysis and Resolution with a specialization in Dynamics of Violence at George Mason University.
Originally from Silver Spring, Maryland, Amanda came to Concord University due to her passion for soccer. Her exceptional experience at CU inspired her to kickstart her professional journey with the Title III grant program. Since her involvement, Amanda has worked towards enhancing online learning opportunities and accessibility for CU students. She has also contributed to integrating alumni into the lives of our students through our Alumni Mentor Network and is working to expand internship opportunities for all students.
Amanda is the proud mom to her dog, Koda, whom she likes to take on longs walks and hikes, specifically in the fall. If she’s not working, she is probably working out, reading, or exploring.
