Amanda began coaching at KDGC in the summer of 2025, though her connection to the gym spans more than three decades. A former competitive gymnast and long-time dancer, she has been part of the KDGC family for over 32 years through classes, alumni opportunities, and now coaching. She earned her degree in Commercial Photography with a minor in Dance from Kent State University and also runs her own photography business. While her career has taken her in creative directions, her love for movement and the KDGC community has always remained. She’s excited to be back on the floor, helping athletes grow in confidence, skill, and joy for the sport.
