She is the former Chief Executive Officer and founder of Dress for Success Tasmania, a organisation established to actively increase women’s economic participation in the State.

Amanda has extensive governance experience, including serving as a Non-Executive Director on the national board of Make-A-Wish Australia from 2018 to 2025. She holds a Master of Criminology and Corrections, a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Law, and GAICD accreditation.
