Head of Learning, Gitwit Creative

Born in West Hills, CA, Amanda attended high school in the Los Angeles area and was a recipient of the Lucille Rader Scholarship in 2008. She has a degree in Mechanical Engineering from MIT and worked as a mechanical design engineer before becoming a teacher in Catholic schools and, later, a product director at an EdTech company. She now designs curriculum and training to help business and tech professionals approach their work with tactical empathy, creativity, and agility. Amanda enjoys reading, backpacking, and rock climbing in her spare time.

Why did you agree to serve on the Lucille Rader Education Foundation Board?

I am excited to serve on the board of a foundation that supports deserving young women in their pursuit of a college education. As a woman in engineering, tech, and business, I know how important it is to nurture and support young female leaders – particularly, leaders who are rooted deeply in the Catholic faith.
