Amanda Akers holds a BS in public relations/journalism from the University of Oregon.
Amanda grew up in the desert of Southern California. She moved to Oregon in middle school and is proud to now call herself an Oregonian. She and her husband, Daniel, met at the University of Oregon and are avid Duck fans. They live with their menagerie, which includes some cats, dogs, parrots, fish and a really grumpy chameleon. Both Amanda and Daniel have a passion for animals, especially exotic bird rescue and foster parrots in need. When she's not cleaning up after birds Amanda enjoys planning trips to far away places.
