Amanda started her career at an early age working in health and early education full-time while putting herself through school. She worked as a nurse’s assistant and ran after school programs for children in at risk neighborhoods. This work led her to start her own business as a personal trainer and a corporate wellness consultant for tech companies in the Bay Area, California. After completing a pre-law degree at San Francisco State University, Amanda was presented with the opportunity to continue her work abroad—and the rest is history!

Why KPMG Luxembourg?

“Fun fact, my very first time driving into Luxembourg, I saw the KPMG building without knowing what it was, and I was so impressed. I said, “I would love to walk into that building every day!”

When I got my first interview, I was amazed that it was in that same building, it felt like I was in a movie! However, I chose KPMG Luxembourg over other companies, not because of the building, but because they had the progressive culture that I was looking for and I felt that they really valued their people, the environment and the local community.

What I like about KPMG the most is that they are a learning-centric organization. There are endless opportunities to grow your talent, develop a new skill, be involved in an interesting project and learn a new perspective. With the international workforce that KPMG Luxembourg has, there is also a unique opportunity to practice a multitude of languages that you will find in very few workplaces, even in Luxembourg.”
