Aman­da Stauf­fer is a grad­u­ate of Yale and Colum­bia Uni­ver­si­ties who works as an archi­tec­tur­al con­ser­va­tor, restor­ing his­toric land­marks across the coun­try. When she grew frus­trat­ed with New York City’s dat­ing scene Aman­da head­ed to match​.com. Even though no suc­cess­ful rela­tion­ships came out of it, her expe­ri­ences pro­vid­ed her with a life­time of warm and fuzzy mem­o­ries, a few friends, and an abun­dance of mate­r­i­al should she ever decide to pur­sue a career in com­e­dy. An erst­while expat who has lived in Ban­ga­lore, Sici­ly, and Paris, Aman­da cur­rent­ly lives in Man­hat­tan, where she is busy writ­ing her sec­ond book.
