Amanda became interested in missions as a very young child and went on her first short-term mission trip to Mexico at age 13. On that trip, she felt God calling her into missions. Amanda continued to go on short-term trips to Mexico throughout high school, college, and early adulthood. In 2013, God called her to Papua New Guinea, where Amanda taught Spanish and World History, among other subjects as needed.
Amanda will be getting married at the end of January 2027 and will be based in Dallas, Texas, with her husband. Amanda is excited to see what new role (besides being a wife!) God has in store for her in the future!
