| Hometown: | Knoxville, Tennessee |
| Occupation: | Attorney |
Amanda is from Knoxville, Tennessee. She enjoys being from Knoxville, because it makes her think that Peyton Manning, Pat Summitt, and Dolly Parton would all take her side if a fight broke out. She was a member of the program from 2010-2014, including four years in which the program finished in the top ten at Nationals. As a competitor, Amanda won eighteen attorney awards, more than anyone else in program history. She served as a team captain during her second, third, and fourth years, the program's Tournament Director during her second year, the program’s President during her third year, and as the program's Executive Vice President during her fourth year. Amanda graduated from UVA Law and now works as a federal prosecutor.
