Amanda Cook, Esq., CPA was elected to the Board of Directors of Frontwave Credit Union in 2022.

Ms. Cook graduated with two Bachelor’s degrees in three years from Michigan State University. She then attended Michigan State University College of Law with a full scholarship, and graduated magna cum laude. It was in law school that she began focusing her career on tax issues through service: she participated in an outreach program for Hurricane Katrina victims to bring awareness regarding government stimulus and to prepare their income tax returns. Since then, she has helped people deal with financial crises, prepare for future events, and navigate complex transactions through her work as a tax advocate.

Ms. Cook has been practicing in San Diego County for the past 11 years. Her career has focused on issues relating to small business and personal finance and income tax. Growing up in a military household, Ms. Cook saw firsthand the unique financial considerations that are present for military families and retirees. In her career, she has worked with people across the income spectrum to help them achieve their financial goals through tax planning and budgeting. She is passionate about helping people with their personal and financial goals and is eager to show members how Frontwave Credit Union can assist.
