Amanda Paulson

Amanda is entering her last year at the University of Illinois and will be graduating in the spring with a BFA in Painting. She is originally from Barrington, Illinois, but feels with each passing year that Urbana is more and more like home. She will be sad to leave such a fantastic place and such fantastic friends! After four years in the Girls Next Door Amanda has made an abundance of lifelong friends and couldn't have asked for a better opportunity to make her college career extra special!

Aside from the obvious joys of making art and music, Amanda enjoys reading, kittens, cheese, Fall, photography, sledding, polka dots, and squirrel-watching. It is important to note also that Amanda still leaves cookies and milk for Santa Clause on Christmas Eve. And carrots for the raindeer, of course.
