Amanda Murphy, a well-known model with a strong association with Prada, has had a successful career in both the fashion industry and healthcare. Over the past decade, she has become a Prada favorite, participating in various campaigns and runway shows. In addition to her modeling career, she has also made significant strides in the field of medicine as a radiographer.
Amanda’s journey into modeling began at the age of 17 in Chicago, and she later signed with IMG Models in New York when she was 21. Her discovery in the fashion world happened during a family road trip to New York City, where she met and signed with IMG Models.
She is widely recognized for her work with Prada, particularly her appearances in Prada campaigns. However, Amanda’s accomplishments extend beyond the fashion realm. Inspired by her mother’s career as an ICU nurse, she pursued radiography school as her second career.
One of the standout moments in her healthcare career was when she was still in school. She encountered a challenging case where a patient’s legs were severely injured in a car accident. Despite the shock of the situation, Amanda remained composed and played a crucial role in providing the necessary x-ray images for the medical team to prepare and perform emergency surgery.
Amanda’s experience as a model proved beneficial in her healthcare career. Her confidence and preparation, gained through numerous modeling interviews, helped her excel in radiography job interviews. However, balancing commitments in both careers posed a significant challenge.
Interestingly, Amanda found parallels between her roles in modeling and healthcare. Just as she paid close attention to photographers’ and clients’ preferences in modeling, she applied the same level of attentiveness to physicians’ instructions in her healthcare profession. This ability to remember and execute specific requirements effectively lowered the pressure in both fields and earned her trust among colleagues and clients alike.
