While not fluent in Spanish, she uses it every day in helping her Spanish speaking clients with their family law cases or criminal defense, such as driving without a license. She worked for the Epilepsy Foundation of Kentuckiana for five years between college and law school.

Amy is a member of Citizen’s Climate Lobby New Albany, where she passionately participates in advocacy efforts to get climate legislation passed through Congress.
