MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

With a bachelor's degree in Business Administration specializing in Marketing, 14 years of retail management experience, and more than 11 years as the owner of The Peel Bar, Amanda brings both formal business education and real-world industry experience to the classroom.

After relocating to Ohio in 2014 without an established local network, she opened her esthetics business in March 2015 and has successfully navigated the challenges of starting, operating, staffing, and growing a beauty business.

Her approach is practical, straightforward, and rooted in firsthand experience—including the lessons learned along the way.

Her goal is simple: Help beauty professionals make informed business decisions and avoid costly mistakes.
