Amanda works for a college library in the Capital District of NYS. Known as Aoife inghean Conchobair in the SCA, she focuses on the Bardic Arts, telling stories, writing poetry, singing songs, playing harp, and occasionally being a part of the infamous traveling bardic gong show. She is married to Joel of Vestfell who continues to put up with this insanity. She dabbles in the textile arts in her spare time as well. She primarily plays in the Barony of Concordia of the Snows.

She is a resident of Vestfell Farmstead and apprenticed to Master Toki Redbeard. From October 2009 to October 2010, she was Baronial Bard of Concordia of the Snows to His Excellency Angus Kerr. From February 2010 to February 2011, she served as King's Bard of the East.
