Amanda has worked in broadcast media for over 20 years. Born and raised in Colorado, she got my first TV job as a master control operator (a fancy word for button pusher) for KJCT-TV in Grand Junction, CO. She then moved to Richmond, VA, and became a video editor and photographer for WTVR-TV and was able to learn alongside what she called some of the most talented journalists she had ever met. She worked at television stations in Jefferson City, MO, and West Palm Beach before moving to Tampa.
Amanda has worked with Tampa Bay 28 for over 10 years and does everything from editing shows to creating motion graphics to researching and planning news coverage. She now writes digital content and creates Shorts and TikTok videos.
She holds a B.A. in Mass Communication, an M.A. in International Relations, and a Certificate in 3D Animation. She recently completed a certificate program in UX design.
When not working, she enjoys running 5Ks, 10Ks, and half-marathons. She completed a 29029 Everesting challenge, climbing the elevation of Mt. Everest in 36 hours with her partner, Brandon, and her coach (daughter), Delaney.
