Currently, Amanda is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators and the Independent Author Network.
She volunteers at Children's Hospital-Minnesota and serves on Team Tabitha with the Ronald McDonald House 'Cooks for Kids' program. Her passion is to help others deal with their loss by sharing her story at grief coalitions throughout the Twin Cities metro area.
Amanda graduated from the Academy of Holy Angels in Richfield, MN, earned her BA in Communicative Disorders from the University of WI-Stevens Point and her MA from Minnesota State University-Mankato.
In January of 2013, Amanda and her family were in a tragic accident. Her nine-month-old baby, Tabitha, died two days later. Her book, “Stella’s Story: Dealing With Sibling Loss” was written to use as a consistent message for Amanda’s 2 ½-year-old daughter to help her cope with the death of her baby sister. The words in the book are those used by Amanda when talking to her surviving child.
