About me

Introduction Amanda Padilla, Project Manager at A3A, is passionate about advancing human rights, especially the rights of women and girls. Through her work at A3A she has had the opportunity to work on projects focused on increasing the quality of life of women abroad. Additionally she is an artist in San Francisco that creates work heavily based in concepts of humanity. Recently she participated in the Sketchbook Project where she created collages reflecting gender imbalances in different cultural institutions. Her art and her professional work have both been influenced by her international travel and her genuine belief that universal human rights should be a given, not a luxury. Prior to A3A, Amanda worked as the Chief Advisor of Communications for the City of San Antonio- District 10 where she served an elderly constituency. In 2009, she received her M.A. in International Politics with an emphasis on Human Rights from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Shortly after earning her M.A. she returned to the San Francisco Bay Area where she now resides.
