*EDITOR'S NOTE: Amanda reached out to us 12 years after this bio was posted to request an edit so her ego was not bruised (see crossed out high jump mark with red font color above). In the last 12 years, this page has been viewed three times, two of which were by Amanda herself, and the other was the editor making this edit.

**SECOND EDITOR'S NOTE: The first editor's note (and bio change) was Amanda's idea.
