Amanda Cross is the 20-something behind The Happy Arkansan. Content marketer by day, freelance writer, and blogger by night, Amanda has been running this blog since 2011. This blog started as a college blog written between classes and has turned into something bigger than Amanda.

When Amanda isn't writing (which she happens to do a ton of), you can find her binge-watching shows (lately it's been Catfish and 9-1-1), spending time with her family, and staring at her savings account.
