Amanda is a freelance content creator, small business owner, part-time librarian, and born-again nerd who's lived all up and down the East Coast.
When she's not binging sports, cult classics, and sitcoms, she's either out exploring and lost or making a de·li·cious mess of things in the kitchen.
Having grown up on a steady diet of Reading Rainbow and Mr. Rogers reruns, it's no wonder she ended up surrounded by movies and books. She can't wait to add some of her own to the shelves!
Industry Focus
Amanda is a Staff Writer at MovieWeb. She’s been writing for the site since 2023, and has worked on features, lists, and republishes. She's happy to finally be able to put countless hours in front of the TV to more profitable use!
In addition to her work at MovieWeb, she's also written novels and shorts. She's placed in several screenwriting contests, including Austin Film Festival, and she's hoping to shoot her first short soon. At the core of her work are elements of social justice, telling untold stories through genre.
A former employee of NPR, in her spare time, she's in the process of developing a podcast about movie history alongside her brother, Alex.
Favorite Media
Amanda is an unabashed super fan of all things genre, from Horror Comedies to Murder Mysteries. She loves throwing popcorn at notoriously bad movies, and could listen to true crime podcasts for days without stopping.
