Bio
My name is Amanda Ottaway. I am currently a senior English major at Davidson College and am substantially involved in the creative writing community on campus. I serve as the satire section editor of the student newspaper, and as Vice-President and member of the community initiatives committee of Davidson's slam poetry team, FreeWord. My work - a range of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and reporting - has been published in several mediums, such as magazines, newspapers, and an anthology, and I am the recipient of a few writing awards as well, details of which are provided on my resume.
I am also a member of the women's basketball team at Davidson, an NCAA Division I institution. I was named to the Southern Conference All-Academic team in 2010.
Currently I am in the process of co-authoring a book with my father, Brent, a biography of a good family friend with pancreatic cancer. I am a 2011 summer intern at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis in the Programs department, specializing in arts education. I will return to school in the fall, with an expected graduation date in May 2012.
