Amanda has been a part of NGAB since 2025. Amanda moved to Montezuma County in 2024 to be closer to the high desert environment and rural communities she feels most drawn to for the hiking, biking, and tight-knit community relationships.

She currently works for KSJD Community Radio, a public radio station serving the Four Corners region, building relationships with community partners to support the longevity of the station and the community theater which operates under the same nonprofit. She is passionate about supporting local opportunities to engage in arts, culture, and education that connects us to natural spaces and each other.
