After considering majors in Architecture, Interior Design, and PR/Marketing, Amanda decided to move into Speech Communications because she knew she wanted to work with people. International experiences had an impact on her life and created a desire within her to learn more about other cultures and work cross-culturally in her career pursuits. Amanda’s path through different parts of the country and work in student Christian ministry and non-profit community organizations led her to the meaningful work does with refugees and immigrant families. Amanda’s story is one that illustrates how each experience along our path can lead us to what we are meant to do with our lives.
