Hi, I’m Amanda

I am an improvement advisor, coach, writer, organizer, and learning experience designer.

What ties it all together is passion for supporting people to create the world we’d all rather live in.

Improvement Advising

I advise network hubs and organizational leaders on their improvement strategy. I worked for 5 years advising the phenomenal College Access Team at New Tech Network as they designed and ran an impactful improvement network.  

Curious to learn more about how I support improvement networks?

Coaching

I coach teams of all types, as exemplified by my work with the Coalition for STEM Futures. I helped teams from science centers and children’s museums across the country investigate the current state of their services for immigrant-origin families and develop creative ideas for improvement.

Curious to learn more about how I support teams?

Writing

I write practitioner-centered resources that make improvement science exciting and accessible for folks doing the work. My inspiration to write comes from the needs I see in my coaching and advising practice.

Organizing

Outside of work, I bring folks together to build power and change their communities for the better. I organize with SURJ (Showing Up for Racial Justice), among other organizations and campaigns. My insights from organizing are woven throughout my practice of improvement.

Teaching

Forever a teacher at heart, I adore designing and delivering great learning experiences. In addition to my own offerings, I teach in the Improvement Collective’s Coaching Course, a premier improvement science learning opportunity specifically for educators.

Curious about other opportunities to learn from me?

“I was blown away by how prepared she was. Her workshop combined a clear, accessible explanation of improvement science with interactive activities that engaged the audience in hands-on learning. She clearly understands adult learning and education in general -- I'm sure drawing on her background as an educator.”

—Dave Greenberg, Las Cruces Public Schools
