She attended Ellsworth Community Schools, Washington Elementary in Mt Clemens Mi., Fort Meade Elementary school in Maryland, and graduated from Northwest Academy and Aquinas College.

She worked various jobs and was excited to start a new job at her favorite store, Olson's in Charlevoix.

Amanda liked to travel, drive places, scary movies, and most music. She was an avid reader and liked to crochet. She attended many ComiCon's with her best friend Jackie Riley Tennyson dressed as different characters. Amanda played the flute and bass clarinet which she lovingly called Clarence.
