I’m Amanda Ferguson, a student at the University of California, Santa Barbara, pursuing a B.A. in Economics and Accounting. Originally from Los Alamitos, California, I’m passionate about finding the balance between strategy and creativity, whether it’s tackling a complex problem in class or exploring new ways to express myself through writing and style.
Outside the classroom, I’m all about making the most of Santa Barbara’s local scene. From thrift shops to coffee spots, I love discovering unique ways to refresh my wardrobe and experiment with fashion in a sustainable, practical way. I’m also a reader and storyteller at heart, always looking for inspiration in books, music, and everyday experiences.
Campus life and community are really important to me. Whether through clubs, volunteer work, or collaborative projects, I enjoy connecting with people and contributing to initiatives that make a difference. With Her Campus, I aim to share content that’s relatable, useful, and engaging, helping readers navigate college, develop their personal style, and find inspiration in the little things.
