Amanda was born and raised in the Windsor area. After graduating from Avon View High School, she completed a Bachelor of Commerce with a major in Finance from Saint Mary’s University in 2016.

Following the completion of her undergraduate studies, Amanda went on to obtain a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from the University of New Brunswick’s Faculty of Law in 2019.

Immediately following her time at the University of New Brunswick Amanda returned to the Halifax area to complete her year as an articled clerk at a prominent personal injury firm. Once she was called to the bar in 2020, she shifted her focus from litigation and advocacy, to real estate, estate administration, and estate planning. Amanda worked for two years developing her knowledge in those practice areas until she joined Trevor I. Hughes in the spring of 2022.

Outside of practicing law, Amanda spends much of her after-hours time coaching cheerleading at Empire Athletics. Amanda continues to enjoy being active herself and enjoys running, golf, and yoga.
