How FinnU’s Servant Leadership Program Changed the Course of Amanda Maleche’s (’12) Life
October 16, 2019
Amanda Maleche (’12) with her husband, a Michigan Tech alumnus, and three daughters. Maleche connected with her husband, who is from Kenya, over her passion for African culture after having gone on the Service Learning Trip to Tanzania through FinnU.
Leading the Pride continues in the month of October by talking with Liberal Arts alumna and Executive Director at Anthology Senior Living, Amanda Maleche (’12). Maleche, who transferred to FinnU after two years at the University of Michigan-Flint campus, originally started her college career in nursing before switching majors after doing the Service Learning Program and going to Tanzania. She has held a number of jobs in world of geriatrics including activities coordinator, business office director, and assisted living coordinator.
Listen as host Olivia Myers and Maleche talk about the value of a liberal arts degree, how servant leadership guides her career and how her experience in Tanzania influenced the rest of her life.
Amanda Maleche’s parting words
“Back then I never knew the impact Finlandia University would have on me, but it’s really changed the path of my entire life.”
