Amanda (Palsson) Armstrong


After graduation, I headed to the University of Utah. I was involved with the LEAP program as well as the Lassonde New Venture Development Center. Love my college experience! I majored in Marketing and Business Management. During the college years, I also competed as Miss Kaysville-Fruit Heights in the Miss Utah pageant, which is part of the Miss America Organization. I learned a lot about myself and what I am passionate about. I enjoyed serving my community and working on my platform. Competing also helped me improve my interview skills that helped prepare me for the business world. (It's pageant season again, and I'm still involved with both the Kaysville-Fruit Heights and Davis County pageants. Can you tell I love them!)

I initially accepted a position with a marketing research company in California. It turned out not be a good fit, mostly because of the cost of living there. I came back to Utah, and worked for a small marketing research firm breifly. Jennifer (Liddell) Noall, however, roped me into working for Progressive Auto Insurance as a claims adjuster. Not quite what I imagined my career to be, but I really enjoyed working there.

John Armstrong (class of 2001) and I were married in 2005. We lived in Holladay for a couple of years, then moved to West Jordan. We welcomed our baby girl January 25, 2008, which is also John's birthday. We have decided that home is where I need to be. I have my real estate license and help John with his brokerage. We enjoy traveling and actually just got back from a transatlantic cruise to London/Paris. Cruises are our favorite!

I hope we have a reunion! I would love to see you all again. BLOG
