As a feminist strategist, organiser and gardener, Amanda is convinced that art, activism and compost make the world joyful and are key to disrupting and transforming unjust power systems worldwide.

Drawing from a lifetime of organising and agitating, she enables teams, organisations and individual change-makers to identify clear, ambitious goals and to design fit-for-purpose pathways to realise them.

After training in modern dance for close to two decades, Amanda worked in the nascent internet industry in the early 2000s, and then 18 years with feminist women’s funds. Today she practices embodied strategy consulting, bringing her passion for physical and social movement into being.

She is fluent in Spanish and English and speaks conversational Catalan — she can work actively in these three languages. She also has a basic understanding of Dutch and is a current student of Serbo-Croatian.

Born in San Francisco, Amanda has lived the past 25 years in New York City, Mexico City, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Belgrade.
