Driven by a passion for solving complex environmental challenges, Amanda has over 15 years of experience in designing and implementing nature-based solutions (NbS) for sustainable water and wastewater treatment. She applies her understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological processes in nature to creating engineering designs that restore ecological balance and improve water quality.
Amanda’s expertise includes engineered wetlands, phytoremediation, natural media filtration, and sustainable stormwater management. She has applied these solutions across a wide range of impacted environments—from groundwater and surface water contamination to mine drainage, landfill leachate, and industrial wastewater.
Recognized for her work in wetland ecosystem restoration, Amanda has experience in freshwater and tidal wetlands, riparian zones, and bioengineered slope stabilization. She also serves on the Technical Advisory Board of Pure Earth (formerly the Blacksmith Institute) and the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Phytoremediation, helping contribute to the advancement of sustainable environmental practices worldwide.
