Program Coordinator
Amanda is one of the Program Coordinators at Dying With Dignity Canada, where she is responsible for the national webinar program, leads the national Independent Witness & Proxy Volunteer Program, and provides client support to hundreds of people across Canada every year through DWDC’s Support Team. Originally set for a career in public policy, Amanda was drawn to DWDC and its mission after the loss of her grandmother, whose Alzheimer’s diagnosis redefined her understanding of grief, love, autonomy, and end-of-life choice. Prior to her work at DWDC, Amanda worked alongside policy think tanks like the Fraser Institute, interned with the Ontario New Democrats during the 2018 provincial election, and even spoke to voters on the challenges of housing insecurity as a municipal campaign panelist in 2018. Fun Fact: Amanda previously trained as a choralist for 5 years—performing several times at Massey Hall as a descant soprano. Her highest note ever is an G5, but she’s not taking requests to replicate that note any time soon!
