Amanda Bio:

Amanda Higginbotham, a born and raised Texan reigning as Miss Texas Volunteer, has a passport full of stamps and a heart full for service. A summa cum laude graduate with dual degrees in Aeronautical Science and International Studies and language certificates in Chinese and French, Amanda currently works as a DFW-based airline pilot and a part-time model. Also, with almost 5,000 lifetime volunteer service hours, she's the founder of the 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Reach Out to Outreaches Inc., which has partnered with charities such as American Cancer Society, Civil Air Patrol, Angel Flight South Central, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, MPowered performance troupe, and more.

If she's not landing–or strutting–on a runway, Amanda loves to inspire others through her S.E.R.V.E initiative, The Spark Initiative - Igniting Curiosity to Spark Empowerment. She is a self-described movie critic, sushi eater, chess player, country dancer, and just another coffee lover. With a passion for life and a heart for others, Amanda wants to prove that courage, commitment, and a LOT of caffeine can take you anywhere!
