About Amanda Karch
Karch is a published poet and avid writer, continuing to hone her entrepreneurial skills from college through her path as an author. As a Babson College alum, she focuses on other forms of storytelling through data analytics. Her debut poetry collection, Her Favorite Color Was Sunshine Yellow, was self-published in 2020, selling almost 200 copies in its first print year.
