Amanda Ritter

Amanda is a life-long Texan. She is from the Houston area but considers Central Texas home. After moving to Austin in 2010 to attend UT, she earned a BBA from the McCombs School of Business. Upon graduation, she worked at Dell before realizing she had a calling for service-oriented work which led her to pursue a career in higher education. For the past five years, Amanda has been working with business students one-on-one and in the classroom in the areas of academic and career advising – first at Texas State University and now here at UT-Austin. In May 2023, she will be wrapping up a graduate program in Workforce & Leadership Studies. Outside of work and school, Amanda enjoys live music, watching softball, and exploring new places with her partner Jade and their pup, Hagrid. Amanda is thrilled to be a part of the McCombs ecosystem once again, and she can’t wait to meet you!
