Amy grew up in central Illinois and received her BSN from Millikin University. After college, she moved to St. Louis where she worked at Saint Louis University Hospital in the trauma/surgical ICU. She earned her MSN from Webster University and started working for WashU Medicine as a CRNA in 2010. She floated to all of the OR pods and did OB anesthesia at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Missouri Baptist for several years before ultimately choosing POD 1 as her home. In 2022, she transferred to Barnes-Jewish West County and is one of the core CRNAs at the surgery center.

Outside of work, Amy enjoys traveling, reading, trying new restaurants, staying active, and spending time with friends and family.
