After a short stint on the East Coast, Amanda is excited to return to her native home, Missouri. Having lived on both sides of the state, Amanda can be found cheering for the Cardinals, Royals, and Chiefs. Amanda has one son who lives in her beloved St. Louis and is studying secondary education at St. Louis University. When she is not at home with her family and dogs, she’s out trying new restaurants, attempting to paddle board, hiking wherever she can find some hills, or traveling to somewhere new. Amanda has a long history of volunteerism and currently serves as a career mentor to veterans and their spouses through American Corporate Partners.
