Amy spent her formative years in the bluebonnet fields of Abilene, Texas spinning ABBA and ELO on the family record player and skipping around in jelly shoes trying to uncover the secret to dancing on the ceiling. A few slap bracelets and Trapper Keepers later, our little lone star found herself whisked away from the land of Longhorns for snowier pastures in Buckeye country.  

A card-carrying member of the public library and ruthless Scrabble player, Amy’s wordological tendencies emerged at a young age. As time went on, spiral notebooks filled with unicorn-and-rainbow stories gave way to essay-filled Blue Books, and Blue Books gave way to a “what are you going to do with that?” English degree. Though Amy didn’t have the answer just yet, she “wrote off” into the sunset (and working world) full speed ahead.

In her previous life, Amy was a more literal breed of community manager, working in Community Affairs for municipal government. Whether calming citizen concerns that a barbecue restaurant smelled “too much like barbecue,” addressing “vicious geese” complaints or doing disaster control in the wake of a peanut oil spill, each day was an adventure fit for a superhero.

When she wasn’t busy saving the world from birds and barbecue, Amy also moonlighted as a freelance writer, crafting messaging for use in branding, re-branding and promoting an array of national brands and organizations. Amy has written for a wide breadth of industries in both the public and private sectors including fashion and beauty, education, government and public health. Her work can be found everywhere from websites to billboards, brochures to bumper stickers...and proudly displayed on her parents’ refrigerator door.

After hours, Amy enjoys the company of family, friends and a four-footed tyrant named Rocky, best described as 120 pounds of big dog mentality in a 13 pound package. She has been known to attend the occasional wine tasting and never turns down an invite to brunch. Amy is still a sucker for “Dancing Queen” and dreams of the day life sets her up to play “WHIZBANG” on a triple-word score.
