While music is not only something that she is passionate about but has been her entire life, this can be seen through the various clubs she is associated with.

College:

Although Drexel was not her first choice when it came to picking a college, it is where she fell in love, after visiting the school she developed an understanding of how astonishing the institute truly is.

After stepping foot on campus, she quickly became a part of several different clubs through Dragon Link, through this link she was able to access the several different clubs the college had to offer. From there she then emailed Dragon Concert to become a part of their team as well as DragonFly. For those who don’t know DragonFly is a  concert which hosts 2k people. (Through DragonFly each team member needs to go through an interview process), after Amanda went through the process she was selected to be an event planner. Following this opportunity, she then started working on various projects such as a dj battle event which will take place on March 5! (Through this process, she had to find vendors, and DJ’s and gather contracts among other necessary documents).

The most important lesson she feels like is important to grasp is having clear communication! (In addition to this, it is important to understand how to write up an email, and provide your qualifications as well as resources that you can provide the individual you are looking to interview).
