Before joining the MANY staff in March 2022, Amelia served as Director of Marketing and Admissions at The Landing School of Boat Building & Design where she enhanced the school’s use of KPIs in reporting admissions data to more accurately project financial standing for the year ahead, and built the school’s first donor database.

She has ten years of experience with financial management, data analysis, and database management.

Amelia completed her undergraduate education at the University of Utah and Parsons School of Design.
