Career

Amanda Keller‘s journey into the spotlight began with Townsend’s Wonder World, but she quickly found her groove behind the scenes as a researcher and producer for Good Morning Australia, back when Gordon Elliott and Kerri-Anne Kennerley were at the helm.

Her contributions to Aussie TV were honored with the prestigious Gold Logie Award in 2019, but Amanda Keller‘s talents extend beyond the screen.
