A note from our Founder & CEO
Hi/Hola! My name is Amanda. I am the CEO of Otraway, a professional speaker, author, and mom of two amazing sons, Luca and Enzo!
I was adopted from Paraguay as a baby and traveled 4,712.73 miles. I was adopted by an amazing American family that instilled priceless values and lessons about work ethic, compassion, kindness, and community.
Flash forward two decades, I began working various marketing jobs never truly finding my spot in the business world. The ceilings kept getting lower and lower and I felt like I was living in Groundhog Day. I wanted more out of my life. In 2015, I traveled to Paraguay and Argentina and located my biological family. It was a profound and mind-blowing experience that changed my life.
Upon my return to the U.S., I was inspired by the lack of opportunity and the level of poverty. A few short weeks later, I decided to do something spontaneous so I took the political plunge. I was knee-deep in campaigning with little name recognition. I was the youngest candidate and the only Hispanic candidate to run in a tight-knit community. Despite the odds, I became the first Paraguayan American elected in the United States. It was a humbling and time-intensive experience that taught me a lot about running a business, communicating effectively, and making empowered decisions.
In 2018, my family of two became three and I was simultaneously subject to a mass layoff. Business ownership has always been a dream of mine from managing a cheerleading and dance store at the age of 14 to being the CEO of Otraway today and I wouldn't change a thing!
The American Dream and family are everything to me. I am honored to share over a decade of marketing and life experience with you!
This ride is just beginning, I hope you join us on this journey!
