We are proud of our members!
As an Associate Professor of Communication and Communication Area Coordinator, Dr. Amanda Frioli is passionate about helping students become more confident, thoughtful communicators, whether they’re speaking in front of a room or working with a group.
“What I love most about HCC is the way we support our students. There is a genuine commitment to meeting students where they are and making sure they have the resources, connections, and people around them to succeed.” – Amanda
Creating that sense of connection is also at the heart of Amanda’s work. Through her recent sabbatical, she’s been exploring how education, families, and communities can work together to create a stronger sense of belonging.
Outside of HCC, Amanda spends plenty of time cheering on her kids at soccer and basketball games and staying involved with their schools through PTO and Unit 5’s Citizens Advisory Council. She also enjoys group fitness classes at the YMCA, reading, and cooking.
“I love learning how other people see the world and thinking about what brings people together. I’m interested in the ways we find common ground and create a sense of community.”
