Amanda is a former nonprofit attorney who practiced healthcare and dependency law before joining USC Gould School of Law as a Career and Academic Advisor. She graduated from CSULB with a double major in International Studies and Spanish Language and earned her JD from Chapman Fowler School of Law. She deeply values compassion, human connection, and amplifying the voices of under-represented populations. Once she leaned into the work that made her heart soar, she found success as a nonprofit leader in the anti-trafficking space, and as an advisor at a top law school supporting students.
