Amanda Williams is Big Life’s Fundraising Operations Coordinator, bringing more than seven years of experience in animal welfare and a decade of activism and scholarship focused on improving human–animal relations.
Amanda holds a B.S. in Education from Central Missouri University and an M.Ed. in Teaching English as a Second Language from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Guided by a worldview of deep interconnectivity with the natural world, they approach fundraising as a way to build relationships and sustain life, not just manage systems.
Based in Kansas City, Missouri, Amanda shares life with their wife, two children, and six companion animals. Outside of work, they enjoy shooting pool, birdwatching, writing, watching horror films, and cleaning up local creeks with their family.
