Amanda Neidhardt
Amanda is familiar with the struggles of young dancers just starting their careers because she started her own career in the particularly grueling world of professional dance in Los Angeles. Longing to create her own work, she returned to her hometown of Austin, Texas and became the Artistic Director of a dance company. Inspired by the desire to help artists like herself, Amanda's passion then drove her to attend law school, graduating from Chicago's John Marshall Law School in 2012. She has a deep passion for charitable work and is excited to bring her experience as an artist and lawyer to the F.A.M.E. team.
