Amelia was born and raised in Frederick, MD. She was raised in a Christian household and came to faith at 17. During college, Amelia moved to DC and developed a passion for evangelism from watching the work that God was doing in her life, on her campus, and in her city. In 2025, she graduated from American University with a B.A. in Political Science and moved to Charlottesville, VA. to do the Campus Missionary in Training program at UVA. Amelia joined staff with XA at UVA in 2026, and when not at work, she can be found in a coffee shop, traveling, or keeping up with current events.
