About Me

Hi, I'm Amanda. A dynamic Account Executive based in Los Angeles, California.

My work focuses on building strong relationships with clients and donors to support impactful fundraising initiatives. I thrive on connecting with people, understanding their goals, and creating strategies that drive meaningful results. Whether it’s managing donor portfolios or collaborating with my team, I bring energy and dedication to every project, always striving to make a positive difference.

Outside of work, I’m an avid bike rider who loves exploring new trails and staying active. Cycling gives me a sense of freedom and balance that fuels my passion for helping others. I believe that meaningful connections—both in my professional and personal life—are the key to achieving great things, and I’m always excited to meet new people and take on challenges that create lasting change.
