Born and raised in West Virginia, Amanda found her love for the mountains and followed her passions to Colorado after finishing college with a bachelor’s degree in Biology from Concord University. She recently moved to Durango with her husband, two children, and a menagerie of rescue animals.
Amanda loves trail running, rafting, mountain biking, and anything that involves being outside.
“All lands are ancestral lands. I live and work in Durango, Colorado, the unceded ancestral lands of the Diné Bikéyah, Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute) and Pueblos peoples. I hope this land acknowledgment inspires others to stand in solidarity with Native nations.”
