Amanda has lived and worked in Toronto, Atlanta, Buenos Aires, Madrid, London and lately home seems to be wherever her suitcase is parked. She is Founder of Connect the Dots Foundation; established in 2009 to incubate and craft fresh global campaigns and initiatives that use technology to connect people offline for a good cause.  

Amanda spent the first part of her career working in non-traditional roles within boutique creative agencies and communication firms. She then delved deeper into event management and commercial property eventually co-founding Space-2, an innovative film and event locations consultancy.  She has coordinated events for British Royalty and the Prime Minister of Canada, the Brit Awards and London Fashion Week.  In addition to spending countless hours on rooftops and insane locations with photographers and film crews including the BBC, ITV, Kudos, and Elle.

In 2007, inspired by the shift towards social networks Amanda decided to complete a Masters in Communications Management and spent a year researching a newly forming communications platform called Twitter. This offered unique insight as the global founder and architect of a movement called Twestival, an international volunteer effort to use social media like Twitter to raise money for important causes. Twestival has been able to build 55 wells with charity: water and recent efforts with Concern Worldwide will give thousands of students the chance at an education.  

Advising technology startups and those with a social good focus keep her energized. She is passionate about developing unique digital and creative strategies for brands and organizations looking to take the next step.  Amanda is currently in development on an exciting new project to be announced in early 2011.
