Amanda Brown is the Bus’s fearless financier. As the Operations Director, Amanda manages all the behind the scenes systems that keep the Bus running smooth. Like so many pioneers before her, Amanda journeyed from the comforts of Pennsylvania to our own coffee-laden frontier (may or may not have arrived via conestoga wagon). Before the Bus, she served with City Year in Seattle public schools, managed programs at the YMCA, and just completed her MPA at UW. |

Toby Crittenden may be best known for getting interviewed by Katie Couric on the floor of the Democratic National Convention whilst wearing a full devil costume. It made sense at the time. Anyhoo, as the Executive Director at the Bus, Toby orchestrates the graceful symphony that is the grand world of Bus. He was raised in the warm embrace of Seattle and remains a proud Garfield High Bulldog for life. Contact Toby about partnerships, sponsorships, and DJ requests. Toby[at]washingtonbus[dot]org |

Danielle Kim graduated from Shorewood HS aspiring to major in Math and spend her days scribbling furiously on chalkboards, while muttering obscure theorems under her breath (this is what mathemeticians do, yes?). At Seattle University, Danielle found her true calling studying Political Science and never looked back. After rocking it as a 2011 Bus Fellow, Danielle is now running the show as the Bus Fellowship Manager. Contact Danielle about the Bus Fellowship or her unconventional training regime for her next marathon. Danielle[at]washingtonbus[dot]org |

Alex Miller has traversed the Bus’s many programmatic vistas beginning with a stint as a 2010 Bus Fellow, to field organizing, to residing in his personalized ivory tower as the Program Director. Through it all, Alex remains the worst dressed, but most unfailingly curly-haired member of the Bus staff. Alex oversees programs, lobbies, makes videos, and is the editor for Hella Bus, the Bus’s blog of record (which he humbly requests you follow with an almost obsessive intensity). Contact Alex about all things program, organizing, and media/digital in nature. Alex[at]washingtonbus[dot]org |
