Amy has an MFA in Film from Emerson College and has studied acting as far and wide as the Moscow Art Theater. However, it was the drama club within her New Jersey public school system where her career really took off with roles like “Charlotte, the sluggish daughter,” in Oliver and Peggy Tempest in Gone With The Breeze.
Her most important credit to date, however, is her role as a mother to an adorable little boy who also loves the camera.
