Some credit this actress’ roots to the fact that she grew up in a house with a fully mirrored living room where she would hold conversations and cry to the mirror rather than her mother.  Some believe she caught ‘the bug’ on the playground where she practiced character development by introducing herself to the other kids as “She-Ra”, and damned if you didn’t believe her! 

Growing up on Long Island, Amanda seized any performance opportunity she could find throughout school, earning lead roles along with leadership roles for her Thespian Troupe.  This trend continued as Amanda went on to college where she doesn’t remember a time that she wasn’t involved in at least one show while also presiding over the 50 member Musical Theatre Repertory Company.  She earned performance scholarships for outstanding service and potential, and broadened her talents by providing acclaimed choreography for faculty directed musicals and student run productions.   Amanda used her summer breaks to embark on her professional performing career, her first job was starring as Nellie Cohan across Broadway actor Brad Bradley in George M!. 

A week after graduation, Amanda jumped to work down in Maryland and has since made her way back up through the Northeast working for various regional theaters and earning herself her Actors’ Equity card.  She’s now back in New York City where she currently resides.  She recently made her NYC debut as Woman 1 in the musical Little By Little followed by a showcase of A…My Name Will Always Be Alice.  She has also started earning work in the film and commercial industry where she is excited to gain more experience.  Amanda is a versatile, hard-working and genuine performer who gives her heart and soul to each and every project.  Check out her resumes for more details about her training and experience!
