Amanda earned a Master's in Counseling with an emphasis in Multicultural Counseling from the University of Colorado Denver in 2018. While at CU Denver, Amanda nurtured her passion for Student Affairs and worked collaboratively with students through the lens of student organization and Student Government advising, campus-wide events/programs, and development of a pilot fraternity and sorority life program for an urban, commuter campus. She strongly believes inclusive co-curricular student engagement opportunities provide space to uplift student voices, build leadership skills, and create positive and productive change.
