My name is Amanda. I am a native Virginian that graduated from Courtland High. I earned my undergraduate degree from George Mason University and my Masters of Business Administration from Washington Adventist University. I have over ten years of program management experience leading and supporting high priority, multibillion-dollar initiatives. I am currently a sustainment acquisition analyst supporting the Department of Defense. My philanthropic efforts include supporting homeless prevention and volunteering with my local church. I am also a cofounder of Collective 365, a grant-making non-profit focused on reimagining philanthropy by supporting people and businesses making a difference in communities of color in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC. Last year, I was selected as one of Northern Virginia’s 40 Under 40. When I’m not serving my community, I am busy homeschooling and instilling the importance of community, health and education. I am a daydreaming foodie who enjoys audiobooks and traveling.
