Growing up in a sailing family, and having lived in Sydney, Melbourne and on the Gippsland Lakes, the water has always been part of Amanda’s life. She earned a Bachelor of Marine Science, majoring in Biology, at Macquarie University in 2009. Amanda’s sailing experience includes being part of the training squad for the 2012 London Olympics and winning the Women’s World Match Racing Championship in Sweden in 2009. She's since joined Wild Mob to help lead conservation projects, combining her love of the outdoors and being on open water.
