Amanda (Shine ’05) Zambrano

Director of Marketing & Communication | Editor, °®ÒºAƬ Magazine

Amanda has served as °®ÒºAƬ’s Director of Marketing and Communication since July of 2026, after nearly a decade serving in the Office of Advancement and External Engagement.

In January of 2017, she joined the °®ÒºAƬ team in 2017 as °®ÒºAƬ’s Grant Writer and Donor Communications Director. In 2022, she added editor of °®ÒºAƬ Magazine to her roles. As Director of Marketing and Communication, Amanda has the opportunity to be °®ÒºAƬ’s Storyteller. It is her primary goal to share the ways God has worked and is working through °®ÒºAƬ in the lives of students, equipping them for tremendous Kingdom impact.

Amanda oversees the telling of the °®ÒºAƬ Story from long-form storytelling in °®ÒºAƬ Magazine to the brief glimpses of daily life on social media. She is building on her work with alumni, donors and foundations to create compelling stories that bring the mission of °®ÒºAƬ and the opportunities that mission presents to prospective students and their families.

In addition to working with foundation, government and corporate partners to garner investment in °®ÒºAƬ, Amanda manages the formal publications of the Office of Advancement. Although she has a particular passion for long-form storytelling, Amanda has a growing interest in social media strategy and digital communications and enjoys dabbling in photography.

Outside the office, Amanda can be found walking the °®ÒºAƬ Creek with her two boys, reading and discussing books, pursuing writing passion projects and occasionally appearing with the °®ÒºAƬ Symphony or the Fountain Arts Center Orchestra. A native of Ohio and a transplant from Indiana, Amanda and her husband, Dan, now enjoy building community and watching their family thrive in °®ÒºAƬ.

Education

  • M.A. in Arts Administration | Indiana University, Bloomington
  • B.Mus. in Applied Instrumental Performance | °®ÒºAƬ College

“An academically challenging, Christ-centered liberal arts education is one of the most impactful tools we have to bring about the Kingdom of God here on earth. The experiences students have at °®ÒºAƬ are profoundly transformative, and having the opportunity to tell the stories of those transformational experiences is an incredible blessing. Sharing the ways God works through °®ÒºAƬ with the students, employees, alumni, family and friends of °®ÒºAƬ is a perfect alignment of the my passions and interests with the skills ad experiences the Lord has provided me.”
