Amanda is a life-long learner and educator who spent 20 years in prekindergarten and kindergarten classrooms, simultaneously gaining wisdom and losing her sanity, before moving into the educational non-profit sphere. She is an author and project manager, passionate about early literacy, arts integration, teacher education, trauma-informed practices, and early mental health.

She loves New York City, red wine, late 90’s teen dramas, her children, the dog, traveling, and Josh with her whole heart (not necessarily in that order).
