She has continued to act on an amateur basis with local drama groups and has performed across a variety of different theatrical genres, as well as in film and on radio. Amanda lives in southwest London and owns two Romanian rescue dogs, four cats and a variety of fish. She very much enjoys writing and reading - out loud!
