The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation shared the following:
"Amanda grew up in the mountains of Southern California and was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when she was 4 years old. She has her Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing and has been an oncology nurse for 10 years. After 4 years of professional life, Amanda had to stop working due to progression into advanced CF lung disease at age 27. On January 2, 2019, Amanda had a double-lung transplant, and later the same year was diagnosed with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD), a post-transplant form of cancer."
"Today, Amanda is cancer free and back to work as a nurse.
She is passionate about advocacy for chronic illness and mental health,
volunteers with Donate Life NW as an educator in schools and hopes to grow as a
writer to empower others facing hardships. Connect with Amanda on
Instagram @beautyforashes05."
