Amanda first began to model at just 3 days old when she landed her first print job on the cover of The Seniors Time. But her acting began at 10 years old when she booked her first principal part as a bully in a film called Otis. It was at this time that she realized how much she truly loved acting. Amanda loves to spend her free time perfecting her photography skills while concentrating on her acting and modeling career. She has one sister, Alyssa Petersen, who is also an actress.
