Don’t be fooled by her blonde hair and blue eyes. Amanda Quennell seems like an interesting young lady but her life is not as exciting as it may appear to be. Back in her home town of Havelock, Ontario she was not one to go out very often. She was a member of her school rowing team, and she played a key role when they won the second place victory in their last regatta of the year.
The middle child of three, Amandas' siblings are not as dedicated to school as Amanda, as they will not be attending any post-secondary schooling. Brantford appealed to Amanda as she was looking for a quiet community to study journalism.
Laurier offers an exclusive Journalism program in printing and broadcast which was the highlight of the University that caught her eye. Amanda not only wants to study to become a talented writer but she also would like to write in the entertainment field. The biggest accomplishment for Amanda in her life is her enrollment in the journalism program at Laurier. She had various financial difficulties to overcome before she could get here.
After Amanda completes her four years of school for journalism she would like to work towards her goal of one day working for Global. Amanda’s dedication to her dream, will one day make her a very successful journalist.
