Amanda Kyed
Amanda believes that photography and animation are at the intersection of art and technology. After receiving her master’s degree in visual and media arts from Emerson College in Boston, she returned to her former high school to work as a technology specialist where she discovered a love for teaching and assisting both students and teachers in all things tech. She spent seven years teaching media arts, film, animation, and sound design at the Windward School in Los Angeles. She came north to the Bay Area a year ago and took on the role of technology coordinator at St. Cecilia School, but found her way to Menlo as she missed teaching and forming meaningful relationships with students.
