<b>Hometown:</b> Honolulu, HI
<b>Bio </b>
Hawaii, Los Angeles, Baltimore and Texas. What do these places have in common? Absolutely nothing. However, thanks to her career in journalism, Amanda has called each of them "home."
Amanda began her news career by interning for an NBC affiliate in Hawaii, where she grew up. She also interned for CNN and ABC7 in Los Angeles. Amanda began working full-time for ABC7 just before graduating from Loyola Marymount University.
A few years later, Amanda took her passion across the country by way of graduate school at New York University, where she worked for the campus television station, NYU-TV. During her last year of grad school, she began working as an Associate Producer for WBFF-TV, a Fox affiliate in Baltimore.
Next, it was on to West Texas! Amanda landed a television reporting gig at KAMC 28, an ABC affiliate in Lubbock Texas. She anchored mornings and weekends on occasion as well. That's where Amanda really dug her heels into some very local journalism ... covering everything from hay bales for sale to doing live talkbacks with CNN's Headline News when a big story hit.
Amanda moved back to Los Angeles in 2008 to work for ABC7 on their website. As a web producer, she was responsible for keeping up the news site, social media outlets and their entertainment blog.
Amanda was the Pacific Palisades editor from June 2011-June 2012 and had an amazing time covering everything from hard news to the always jubilant Fourth of July parade!
