Amanda (she/her) moved to the Bay from New Orleans towards the end of 2023. She grew up dancing in Virginia until the age of 16, and reconnected with her love for dance in the last few months through RAE Studios.

Amanda’s fitness journey began with deciding to complete a 200hr yoga teacher certification after high school, and from there the rest has continued to fall into place. Throughout her time at Virginia Commonwealth University, she worked actively in the recreation center as a group fitness instructor, personal trainer, and program assistant. Amanda graduated from VCU with a bachelors in exercise science and psychology, which has supported her passion/career in personal training and exercise physiology. Since then she began working in corporate fitness in New Orleans, where she was able to have a similar role.

Amanda decided to come to the Bay for a new adventure and currently also works at the Inner Richmond LiveFit as a personal trainer.
