Interests

Amy grew up in Minnesota, the "land of 10,000 lakes", and moved to Columbus in 2005 for a new opportunity. She thought she would be here just a short time, but met her husband about a year after making the move and decided to make Columbus her new home. Much of her free time is spent with Craig, daughter Addison, and son Cooper. She loves rooting for the Buckeyes on game day but will always be a Gopher at heart. She also enjoys exercising, spending time with friends, home projects, and a nice glass of wine by a warm fire. She has always loved helping others and guiding them towards reaching their goals!
