A Shakespeare girl at heart, Amanda is often seen on stage playing roles such as Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing, Rosalind in As You Like It or Helena in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. When not on stage, you can see Amanda being featured in projects her friends create like the short films Tetrahedron or Burrito Bride, as well as supporting local businesses with commercials by the Thurston County United Way and Sophie’s Scoops. Amanda loves the arts in all fashions and is so very grateful to have the support of people like you who help make dream roles happen.
