Amanda is a junior at the University of Arizona majoring in molecular and cellular biology with minors in psychology, Spanish, and biochemistry. After graduation, she aspires to earn a master's degree in genetic counseling and to bring specialized care to the Native American community. Amanda has spent the past three years researching how environmental exposures can damage the female reproductive system, with an emphasis on wood fire smoke exposure. She hopes to combine this research with genetics to help women overcome infertility. She also volunteers her time to serve the youth of Tucson during camping trips with Camp Wildcat and peer grief support groups with Tu Nidito.
