Amanda Miller

As a long-standing member of Yale University’s Alumni Schools Committee in India, Amanda interviewed and evaluated dozens of university applicants. Through these interviews and post-interview guidance, she realized that too many students do not fully understand what differentiates the American liberal arts style of education, and that overseas applicants often have poor or no advice on how best to present their candidacy.

She became inspired to focus on formally helping students navigate the complex college and graduate school application process, helping them achieve admissions to their dream schools both in the U.S. and in other geographies. Amanda finds great joy in working with young people and advising students during the college preparation, application, and decision process.

Amanda remains a specialist in Asian art and a veteran of the art auction industry, having spent the majority of her career at Bonhams in San Francisco and New York. She regularly appeared on television in a variety of appraisal shows, including PBS’s Antiques Roadshow and HGTV’s Appraise It!, among others. She has lived in Asia since 2008 with her husband and daughter, first in Bangalore and now in Singapore.
