"Amanda has been nothing short of amazing to work with. She’s whip smart, easy-going, incredibly well-versed in the world of New York nonprofits, Individual fundraising and foundational giving. She is accessible and flexible And in a world where the stakes can be very high, her calm and measured approach has been refreshing and in many ways life saving. " - Lucie Tiberghien, Artistic Director of Molière in the Park
​
"Amanda is a highly-skilled and detail-oriented administrator. She is equally adept at helping a company write and secure their next grant as she is at self-producing large scale performances. In addition to fitting in seamlessly with larger institutional teams, her development expertise has successfully established income streams for small companies that serve them long after her contract period ends. Responsive, sharp, and well-connected, Amanda is well versed in best practices for arts management." - Donald Borror, Managing Director of Chelsea Factory and Former Executive Director of Dorrance Dance
​
"Amanda truly transformed my writing practice. Her willingness to support me in a variety of roles — writing teacher, coach, deadline-keeper, and editor — has been invaluable. She has a rare gift for connecting with artists and individuals who feel challenged in expressing themselves through writing, and translating that expression effectively for fundraising, grant applications, academia, and other formal institutions. Amanda’s feedback is always direct and honest, yet delivered with humor, genuine compassion, and patience. I deeply appreciate her support and guidance, and I love working with her." - Jessie Young, Individual Artist
​
"Working with Amanda was wonderful. She was clear and direct in her communication about the services she offered and the timeline of completion. She was invested in helping me articulate my motivation of art-making through both discussions on the phone and the editing of my writing. I highly recommend you hire her!" - Amber Sloan, Individual Artist
