Amanda joined The Piedmont Environmental Council team in August 2024 and serves as the HR & Payroll Specialist.

She attended Indiana University Bloomington, gaining a B.A. in English Literature with a minor in Criminal Justice and Business Foundations Certificate, and later a M.S. in Communications from Purdue University. She spent 11 years in public service at a government agency before deciding she wanted to follow her passion for the outdoors.

This led to her to travel the United States for a past year and explore the country’s many beautiful parks and forests. She fell in love with Virginia while section hiking the Appalachian Trail and spending time in the multiple trail towns along the way.  In her spare time, Amanda loves to hike, climb, backcountry camp, read and spend time with her husband and dog.
