Hi, I’m Amanda!
Living in Indy: I proudly call Indianapolis home with my husband and daughter.
Digital Marketing & Photography: My professional background is in marketing and photography.
Health & Wellness Advocate: As a certified health coach and former fitness trainer, I’m passionate about living a healthy life and helping others do the same.
Design Enthusiast: Obsessed with design—whether it's home decor or fashion. My husband and I recently gutted our 1960s home down to the studs and renovated each room over the last three years.
Faith-Driven: As a Christian I am constantly trying to grow in my faith and glorify God.
It was 2017 and as I was on the job hunt with college graduation quickly approaching, I had a decision to make— move to a big city like NYC, Chicago, or LA or go back home to Indiana. To be quite honest, the thought of going back to the state I grew up in made my skin crawl as I had “big dreams”. But, the reality of my situation was that both me and husband’s families were in Indiana and it made sense for our future. Shortly after graduation, we got married and moved Downtown Indy, and though I had grown up in the suburbs, it was like I was discovering a completely new city. I fell in love with each neighborhood and the amazing community that the city offered. Back home again in Indiana felt more adventurous than I had expected.
Now why share my experience online? I have always loved being a resource for my friends whether it be a recommendation or the latest research I am doing. I always saw myself doing it in the health and wellness space. When I found myself leaving my job to stay home with my daughter and we saw a need for local downtown resource, I jumped at the opportunity to combine my professional experience and personal passions by starting Keeping Up in Downtown Indy.
At the end of the day, I truly believe that God brings us ultimate joy but I hope that Keeping Up in Downtown Indy can provide you with healthy and fun experiences and recommendations that can bring little joys to your life.
Can’t wait to explore Indy with you <3
