Tonight's @amazon Community Hero is Amanda Russell-Brown.

Amanda grew up in East Syracuse and is a proud alumna of ES-M High School and Syracuse University’s Newhouse and Maxwell schools. Now residing in the Greater Boston area with her husband, David, she works in product transformation for John Hancock’s US Retirement division.

Despite living out of state, she remains deeply connected to her Central New York roots. Amanda cherishes trips back home, supports Syracuse University sports - especially lacrosse - in person whenever she can, and proudly sponsors the Sensory Friendly Science program at the MOST, helping to make sure that programs are inclusive and accessible for children with autism or other development disabilities.
