“Amanda is thoughtful, collaborative and passionate. She clearly articulates her points and demonstrates a maturity that comes from her strong upbringing. She would be an asset to any organization that needs a hard-working, bright motivated leader to join their team. While serving on the Women at Wentworth committee, Amanda expressed her concerns about the challenges young women in STEAM face in the classroom and the workforce based on her direct experience. Her ideas helped shape what would have been a wonderful event had COVID-19 not stepped in and caused it to be cancelled. I also had the chance to listen to Amanda give a speech to a room full of Wentworth’s corporate partners, mostly men. She was poised, articulate and there were many nods and smiles among the group as she shared the impact having the chance to go to college has meant for her.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Amanda during her time as a technical intern at Simpson Gumpertz and Heger (SGH). From the beginning, Amanda was driven and ambitious, ready to dive into different projects and help where it was needed. She assisted in the Applied Science and Research Center with a variety of projects and analysis of different materials such as metals, fiber reinforced polymers, plastics, roofing and waterproofing, epoxy, etc. She also helped set up different laboratory equipment and install measurement instruments. Amanda handled the fast paced and always changing work day well, and she was always eager to learn and indulge in something new. She was confident in her abilities and determined to reach her goals. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for her.”

“In my role as Associate Director of Student Engagement at Wentworth Institute of technology, I have been fortunate to work with Amanda and see the lasting impact that she has had on the Wentworth community. As an Orientation Leader, Amanda not only helped new students find their place on campus, she served as a model for other leaders, constantly approaching her work with compassion and professionalism. Regardless of the task, I knew I could count on Amanda to follow through and represent Wentworth well. Outside of the many leadership roles that she held on campus, Amanda was driven and passionate about her research. I look forward to seeing all that she will go on to accomplish in graduate school and beyond.”
