Amanda also enjoyed riding horses.

In 2015 Amanda moved from Colorado to Los Angeles to follow her dream of becoming a professional dancer and actress. Amanda graduated with Honors from The Dance Academy at Champs Charter High School of Performing Arts. Many people are surprised to learn that Amanda always attended a traditional school and was never home schooled. During the COVID-19 quarantine Amanda stayed active by working on her BFA in Dance Performance and is scheduled to graduate Spring 2022 from St. Mary's College of California.

Some of her most notable performances include performing in Rihanna's "Savage X Fenty" Show at NYFW which is now streaming on Amazon Prime, dancing at Coachella with Lizzo, dancing with Meghan Trainor at the Radio Disney Music Awards, dancing with Kelsea Ballerini at the People's Choice Awards, dancing on The Ellen Show with Keala Settle from "The Greatest Showman" movie, dancing with Disney's "Descendants 2" Cast on DWTS, dancing on 2 Episodes of The Voice, dancing in Lady Gaga's "Stupid Love" music video, dancing in Katy Perry's "Swish Swish" music video feat.

Amanda trains at Millennium Dance Complex Los Angeles and Playground LA. Also, Amanda teaches Int./Adv. Jazz Funk weekly at Eighty-Eight Studios (previously Movement Lifestyle) and is a guest instructor at SnowGlobe Perspective.

Amanda has her own movement #breakingthestereotype(TM) which promotes body positivity and the belief that any "body" can be a dancer. She is breaking the stereotype that all dancers must be tall, thin and blonde. Her philosophy is "If you love it, do it. It's as simple as that." Amanda is also a body positivity advocate. In 2019 she was the Guest Speaker and Performer at "Beautiful U" sponsored by Wood TV and the United Dairy Industry of Michigan. Amanda was on the "Werk the Skin You're In: Body Positivity" Panel and Performed at the 2019 RuPaul's DragCon at the Los Angeles Convention Center, attended the 2019 Count Me In Global Leadership Summit in Toronto, Canada, and she Spoke and Performed at the 2019 National Best Buddies Leadership Conference in Bloomington, Indiana.

Finally, in 2019 Amanda played the role of Mermaid Alana (one of Ariel's sisters) in ABC's "The Little Mermaid Live". Other roles she played include Jenny in the film "Ali's Realm" with Director Mario Torres (from "Shape of Water"), one of Abby's Girls in "Fat Camp" on BET, 7 Episodes of "School of Rock" as a dancer and student, 2 Episodes of "Drama Club" as a dancer, on "Alexa and Katie" as a dancer and student, as a dancer of "ROAR," and co-starring roles on "Splitting Up Together," "Good Girls," and "Euphoria.". Amanda also played an inclusive dancer for the Netflix movie "The Prom" starring Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman.

Amanda can't wait to see what the future holds for her as she continues her mission of promoting confidence and body positivity. One of her goals is "to be the person I never had growing up" (to look up to as a role model).
