As the Policy and Advocacy Manager, she is passionate about using grassroots organizing, diverse voices, and public policy to dismantle systemic barriers so all Colorado communities can thrive.
Amanda holds a B.A. in Psychology from Whitworth University and a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Denver. She has spent most of her career in the reproductive health, rights, and justice space doing community organizing, state-level policy, and direct service work.
