DANCING, SINGING, ACTING
In the fall of 2022, Amanda had the amazing opportunity and privilege to join the Pep Dance Company! Pep is a completely student run dance company that branches from the Ann Lacy School of American Dance and Entertainment. The group performs hip hop and jazz at various events throughout the year both on and off campus. In 2023 and 2024, she choreographed multiple numbers for the team.

Over her Spring Break in 2023, Amanda had the opportunity to travel to New York City and participate in OCUNYC! The week was full of dance classes, Q&A's, and broadway shows. She was one of the few dance majors there that sang in an open masterclass. She performed "See I'm Smiling" from The Last Five Years for broadway star Nikki Renee Daniels. She received great feedback that she still carries with her today!

In the Spring of 2024, Amanda performed a Senior Voice Recital. She is one of the few dance majors to have a voice recital during their time in college. She was mentored by her vocal coach, Rachel Barnard, and had the pleasure of being Rachel's first dance major to put on a recital.
