It was a 2-year battle with cancer in her mid-twenties that changed Amanda’s perspective on life and inspired her to go vegan, simplify (living off-the-grid in a shipping container for over a year!), start meditating, enjoy each moment and encourage young folks to shine from within.
As an international model in a previous life, Amanda has switched out Salvatore Ferragamo and Cartier for eco-friendly and ethical brands who share her values, being labelled Australia’s first eco-model.
