Born and raised in Westchester, New York (though a diehard Green Bay Packers fan by way of her mother’s upbringing in the Midwest), Amy began her career in the health and fitness field immediately post-college, as an assistant editor at Shape Magazine. She attended James Madison University in Virginia, where she received a degree in media arts and design with a concentration in print journalism, and a European marketing minor after studying abroad at The University of Antwerp in Belgium. Amy’s work has appeared in Cosmopolitan, Health, Max Sports & Fitness, Men’s Fitness, Muscle & Fitness, Muscle & Fitness HERS, Pilates Style, Self, Shape, as well as on greatist.com, mademan.com, menshealth.com, prevention.com, thillist.com, womenshealthmag.com, and more. She is an avid CrossFitter with a serious love for mashed potatoes.
