Amanda Waltz

Raised on a dairy farm in Williamsport, PA, Amanda happily left the countryside to attend the University of Pittsburgh. After graduating with a B.A. in film studies, she went off to live the glamorous life of a struggling writer.

After working as an A&E intern at The Pittsburgh City Paper, a 3 year stint performing sketch comedy, and  contributing to sites like Pop Damage, she decided it was time for a Masters degree. She is currently enrolled in the graduate program for Arts Journalism at the Newhouse School. 

Check out her views on film, television, fashion and pop culture at her blog, The Pop Standard.
