An author and researcher in economics, communications, and strategic management, she looks beyond individual projects to the decisions, relationships, and ideas that shape learning environments over time.

Amanda is especially interested in the connections between education, funding, and broader community engagement. She draws from research in healthcare, higher education, workplace, and civic environments to help uncover thoughtful approaches that respond to the changing role of schools in long-term student success.

By bringing diverse perspectives into the conversation, Amanda helps translate complex challenges into practical strategies that support educators, students, and communities. The goal is to help HED evolve as an integrated, forward-looking design partner for Districts nationwide.
