As Chief Advocacy Officer at Dream.Org, Amanda guides the strategic direction for the organization's advocacy and campaign work, aligning efforts to build power, influence policy, and win campaigns. She leads Government Affairs, Organizing, and Communications as an integrated system, and supports program strategy to ensure coordinated, measurable impact.

In her spare time, Amanda loves hiking through the hills of Appalachia near her eastern Kentucky home, discussing all things Appalachian history, doting on her four dogs and two cats, and diving into horror movies and books.
