Allana Helland
Amanda can jump in and add value to such a wide variety of projects spanning business development, marketing, research, and more. She and I worked together on a branding initiative for a client who had some obstacles to overcome with negative perceptions. Working closely on this project showed me her ability to quickly expand relationships with clients, communicate effectively in front of a group, and create process while blazing new paths. Amanda also brings a certain "joie de vivre" to her work, which is something so unique that you just can't train or teach.
