Hello, friends.

Amy hails from small town Wisconsin, where she was raised in the ways of tough-talking, deep-thinking, salt-of-the-earth miracle workers. Whether comedy or drama Amy's niche is newbies or innocents caught in power struggles with master manipulators. (Think Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs or Carey Mulligan in Promising Young Woman.) Amy has been described as an ‘adorable toughie’ and ‘invitingly vulnerable’ – she's known for her dukes-up badassness, and despite her award winning side-eye small children and animals gravitate toward her.  

She won Best Supporting Actress at the NYU First Run Film Festival for her portrayal of Chelsea, the eldest daughter who finds a shocking way to get her family to confront their collective trauma. Friends of Dorothy Movie Blog called her portrayal of Carey, an idealistic young butch in Saturday Night Butch, ‘Haunting, passionate, and sorely needed representation.’ She is known to audiences at the LA Comedy Festival, New York Fringe Festival, Upright Citizens Brigade, and The Pit for her roles in Mother Eve's Secret Garden of Sensual Sisterhood.

In addition to being found in Indie & short films and NY's theater scene, Amy can be heard on the hit podcast Uncanny County with fellow delightful weirdos and is the audiobook narrator for the Leah Nash Mysteries that are set in the place she’ll never fully escape: Wisconsin.

She also has her own poetry published in the Library of Congress in association with the National Endowment for the Arts’ Continental Harmony project and has amassed a number of poetry recitation awards due to her unceasing devotion to Emily Dickinson.

Born suspicious, she began searching for answers at the age of 2 months. When she wasn't digging up clues buried by her ancestors, she could be found reading poetry to the spiders in her mother’s gardens. Fairly well adjusted, Amy now resides in Queens, New York City and hopes to adopt another black cat. She is also a trained End of Life Companion, an active member of the New York City Master Chorale, and novelist-in-training. She’s a proud Union member with SAG-Aftra and AEA.
