Amanda Francois
Tasting Room Sales Associate
Born and raised in Eugene, Oregon, I first ventured up to the greater Portland area to get a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from the University of Portland. After three years of traveling and teaching in Haiti, Texas, and Miami, I moved to the Dundee Hills to get a Masters of Arts in Teaching from George Fox University. In the fall I will be teaching 5th graders at an elementary school in Gresham. I enjoy learning about people and hearing their passions through the stories they tell. I am thrilled to be a part of the journey and story of Sokol Blosser!
