I’M Amanda
Live in such a way that if people should see you they could see God’s goodness in you.
Welcome to my little slice of the inter-web. I am a wife to my favorite guy for over 20 years. Mom to my 4 amazing kiddos, dog mom to two goldendoodles and mother hen to 10 chickens named Becky. Being a multi-passionate entrepreneur, party planer and virtual assistant keeps me constantly on the go! A passion for teaching resilience and empowerment to teens has me as the Ambassador Director for the Hope Hero Foundation. I love to be a champion for bringing women together and cherish my relationships.
on the go goodness
In 2016 I had my fourth baby. I had 4 kids 10 and under. My life was busy and wonderful! Up until that point I had constantly working towards the next big thing. For 10 years I had been looking forward to the next baby.
I wasn’t prepared for what I would feel when that final baby came. I was thrilled but also without direction. Motherhood is the most important part of me but I knew I had so much more to give.
I joined a skincare company, fell in love with the products and personal development. It tapped into a part of me that had been unused for so long. I learned that I had so much goodness to share.
Through my skincare business I learned that I loved working with women. Lifting and inspiring them to go after their dreams filled my soul.
In 2020 I took a chance on a new friend turned business partner. We formed Women Celebrating Women Utah. It was such a fulfilling part of my life.
For 4 years we created a community of women who lift and inspire each other. We hosted retreats, workshops and events to educate and encourage women of impact.
I am so grateful to be the Ambassador Director for The Hope Hero. Our mission is to proactively prevent teen suicide and empower youth to become heroes of their own stories. We believe in the extraordinary power of resilience and the limitless potential within each of us. Our purpose is to bridge the gap in the mental health field by providing proactive tools and support that decrease anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicide attempts, and death by suicide among younger generations.
you are enough
Being a part of the Miss America Opportunity has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. As a proud pageant mom, I’ve watched my own daughter grow into a strong, confident leader through this program. But beyond that, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring and supporting so many young women as they develop their heart for service, build leadership skills, and make a real impact in their communities.
This organization is about so much more than crowns—it’s about empowerment, lifelong friendships, and incredible scholarship opportunities that help these girls chase their dreams. Seeing them grow, shine, and step into their full potential is why I love what I do!
