About Amanda Gonzales
Amanda’s for passion youth advocacy and social change has been her north star over the past 27 years of working with young people and their families. Rooted in the indigenous Nahuatl word tiahui, which roughly means to move, change, or go forward and with the belief that education can get one out of their situation, her commitment to empowerment and movement has always been focused on young people of color in Denver and Adams counties. Her true passion is special education law, where she specializes in serving teens with affective needs and significant mental health disabilities. An experienced educational leader with a demonstrated history of working in the fields of behavior management, special education, linguistically diverse education, and building teacher leaders, Amanda works to continuously develop school policy to increase authentic learning opportunities for underserved youth. A first generation college graduate, Amanda holds a B.A. from Metropolitan State University in Special Education and Linguistically Diverse Education and an M.A. from the University of Northern Colorado in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies and Special Education Administration.
