Amanda has consulted in education programming and audio production for clients such as The Edmund W. Gordon Institute for Advanced Study at Columbia University and The Podcast Academy and volunteers for LGBTQ+-affirming youth mental health non-profit OkaySo. Amanda is also a musician - she leads NYC-based rock 'n' roll band, Leathered and has supported major recording artists as a guitarist on international stages. The team does not appreciate her impromptu serenades.
