Amanda started her love of theatre at an early age. She began when she was in elementary school and continued performing through her young adult years. She took a break to raise her kids, only to make her way back onto the stage last year. She has been teaching children and youth theatre in the classroom and on stage for over 10 years. She taught at a classical co-school in Indianapolis as well as directing their high school drama productions. She enjoys observing the self-assurance that theatre brings out in students. She’s excited to be part of the JLMA team of instructors! ​
