About Amy
My dad is a National Park Ranger and my mother is an incredible painter and artist. My family moved every three or four years, and I grew up in National Parks- some of the most stunning and remote wildernesses in the country. My mom likes to remind me that I know what to do if I come across a mountain lion in the desert, but do not safely know how to cross a street.
I went to college in Blacksburg, Virginia at Virginia Tech, where I graduated magna cum laude with a BA in Theatre Arts, a borderline unhealthy addiction to college football, and the false impression that orange and maroon are totally acceptable colors to wear together.
In 2008, I moved to New York City to attend Circle In The Square. Amongst the geniuses who teach there are Alan Langdon, Ed Berkeley, Terry Hayden, and Jackie Brookes, all of whom I deeply and humbly thank for their work. Circle is a beautiful school with beautiful people, and I’m so grateful to have trained there.
I now live in Brooklyn, where I cross streets safely all the time.
I’m a proud member of Animus Theatre Company, founded in 2011. Animus is a group of some of the most talented and exciting actors I’ve worked with, and you should come see our plays, readings, or take one of our workshops! www.animustheatre.org
