Amanda is not only MY DAUGHTER, but is a 2016 Stadium High School senior doing running start at TCC. She will graduate with her associates degree and is in the top 5% of her class. She is applying to several colleges and is excited to decide on which one will be her home for the next few years. She would love to attend University of Washington. If that happens, I will have a split home – WSU/UW! She is interested in majoring in physiology and eventually going to graduate school to pursue veterinary medicine or something in the health care field, but she’s taking one step at a time and is open minded about what the final outcome will be.
Amanda has always wanted a shoot at the fair, so we made it happen. We started with hair and makeup at Che’mel Salon and bought her dress at Mod Cloth.
Someday Amanda would like to (1) go on a missions trip and help fight child hunger, (2) own a holiday cabin in Ireland, and (3) public a book.
I love the middle image!! Such an Amanda face, haha.
Amanda also loves makeup and would love to pursue a side career in makeup artistry. She has another side to her though… she is part of the Tacoma Police Department Explorers program where she has attended boot camp, scored first in academics, learned how to shoot a gun, defend herself and volunteers for many local events.
She loves animals and has a precious 2 yr old dog, Cecchetti, an Italian Greyhound. Next on the list is a kitty she is hoping to get in the new year. Her’s died this past year and it’s time for a friend for Cecchetti.
She loves reading books, doing acro yoga, and driving the waterfront on a rainy day with a coffee in hand. She also teaches ballet to 3 – 7 year olds through Metro Arts.
I’m excited to see what’s in store for Amanda’s future. I know in whatever she decides she will go far and always do her best! She’s an ambitious young woman! Love this girl!
