Overview
About Me
Hi there!
I am Amanda and i am 27 years old. I am kind, empathetic, and a good listener. I like to have fun by doing active things, exploring the city, and dancing.
I live in Portland OR and I work with special ed youth (behavioral) & i love my job! I'm really interested in radical politics, cycling, local music, art, politics, urban transit (i love talking about the bus LOL), animals, food, community, and feminism.
Some other things im hoping to learn: how to surf, engage in martial arts, meditation, and about other cultures & people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I biked to the Oregon coast from Portland. That was pretty cool (and in 100 degree weather!)
Teach, Learn, Share
I am interested in social justice and feminism as well as having intellectual conversations with others. I also have experience working with youth. I think food can be a gateway to creating united communities so im interested in the intersection between food and culture.
