Until may 2023, Amanda was a teacher of humanities and a within-school teacher at Nayland College in Nelson. She has since left the school and will taking up a position at the International School of Amsterdam. 

Her specialisation is in global citizenship education in the secondary-school sector.

She enjoys the idea of working in a collaborative network with other educators with a focus on Asia.
