Amy has been passionate about the environment since she was small. Raised by a botanist and a farmer in Pennsylvania's Allegheny mountains, she was taught to appreciate the biodiversity of all natural environments, whether forest floor fauna, garden vegetables, bird song, or tide pools in the rare times she got to visit the beach. Listening to and communing with the planet's wonders brings her peace.
Full-time, Amy is the operations manager at Evolutions by Coppermine, a local Annapolis fitness club, where she also teaches group fitness classes, is a massage therapist and athletic trainer. After being challenged by a friend to not wait for her children to figure things out, she found herself wanting to have a louder voice advocating for the environment. She and her husband, already Surfrider members, decided to help start the Surfrider Chapter in Annapolis, MD where she currently serves as Chair.
