Amanda graduated from UC Berkeley in 2008 with a B.A. in Sociology and moved to New York for her first job at McKinsey & Company. Her interest in Organizational Psychology and academic business research on women’s issues has led to her pursuit of elevating women into the leadership pipeline.

Amanda decided to utilize this knowledge and her technology skills to help create an online community with a multi-dimensional approach to elevating women to top executive positions by removing barriers often faced in their careers. Her favorite aspects of the New York environment include the ability to ask questions and make connections to superstars in the industry, and the fun, supportive community of dedicated hard-workers.
