As one political figure stated; "I feel like I am reading the accomplishments of someone who has already lived a full life and retired". Today, Amanda continues her education working on her bachelor's in business and marketing and serves as a Police Officer.

Amanda strives to not only provide skills-training and emergency awareness in her classes, but to ensure that her students fully understand the material and are one hundred percent ready, able and willing to act with full-confidence in the event of a true emergency.
