Amanda Serfozo

Amanda Serfozo studies political science and social psychology at
Emory University in
Atlanta, Georgia.

A caffeinated student, Amanda analyzes global communication methods, international politics, and neurology. She also conducts ongoing Eleventh Circuit court research on behalf of the National Science Foundation, served as Director of Public Relations for TEDxEmory, and reports the legal beat for The Emory Wheel.

She has also worked at the American Bar Association (Section of International Law), where digital strategy and greater legal interconnectivity were her prime focus.

Currently, Amanda serves as President of the Emory Online News Association, slated to be Atlanta's first and only professional chapter of working journalists and students, housed on campus.

In the past, she has held competitive editorial internships at Rodale, organized a nationally recognized literacy program in her home state of Pennsylvania, and worked on several presidential campaigns. She has been consistently awarded for her achievements in reporting and editing, as well as academic scholarship and merit.

Her humorous and genuine approach to editorial, legal, and media strategies has earned her several positions as lead segment producer, press assistant, researcher, and intern -- she has worked at the side of internet personalities, philanthropists, Ph.D's, and media entrepreneurs alike.

Prior to calling Atlanta home, Amanda lived in New York and Philadelphia.
