Let's Discover Amanda

Amanda is the founder of Axplore Co., a strategy communications studio informed by nature’s rhythms, using storytelling that values patience, depth, and understanding over speed and surface. She holds an MSc in Global Studies and International Relations from Northeastern University and brings experience leading international consulting and research projects across government, public-interest, and mission-driven contexts. Her work spans sustainable proposals in Boston and Toronto, cybersecurity resilience initiatives across African contexts, and global research projects shaped by personal engagement across 25+ countries. Across these environments, Amanda has developed a grounded understanding of how policy, people, and place intersect and how meaningful change requires both strategic rigor and deep cultural awareness.

Landscapes shape Amanda’s perspective. Raised along Maine’s rocky coastline and influenced by California’s vast horizons, she is deeply connected to nature, from parks to protected coastlines. This connection informs her commitment to sustainability, continuous learning, and work that makes climate and social impacts tangible, shared, and actionable. Through Axplore Co., Amanda partners with individuals and organizations seeking clarity, integrity, and resonance, helping them communicate not just what they do, but why it matters.
