Upon graduation from Southern Christian University, Amanda earned an MA in Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care from Seminary of the Southwest. She previously worked in compassion ministries, including homeless and women's shelters. Amanda has a passion for the overlooked and underserved and feels global workers fit that description. Spending time with her nephew and nieces is one of her greatest joys. Amanda loves hiking through the mountains, but since she lives in Columbia, she settles for Harbison trails instead.
