Articulate City

Amanda Miller

We wanted our very first Articulate City Member Spotlight to focus on our very first Articulate City member, Ms. Amanda Miller! You’ll often hear us refer to her as “the Original Original”, which is completely appropriate; not only was she the first to sign on the dotted line to join us – there’s also just nobody like Amanda!
