Prior to joining Cadmium in the Summer of 2024, Amanda spent 18 years managing events across her home state, North Carolina. From the American Diabetes Association to Biltmore Estate, she has honed a spectrum of event skills, finding her specialty in planning for unique details (did you know cattle should be moved 10 days prior to a hillside event?) and designing creative and bold events and marketing. Amanda received a Bachelor of Science in Communications at Appalachian State University (go Mountaineers!) and currently lives in Apex, NC with her husband and two zany kids (8g & 6b). She loves to practice hand lettering and painting with unusual watercolors, of which she has far too many and continues to purchase...maybe that's the real hobby.
