Nationally Board Certified, Amy teaches eighth grade U.S. History at Stephen Decatur Middle School. She teaches her students that U.S. History is more than a series of facts and dates; it is a collection of stories that helps define our culture.

Amy’s leadership role continues outside the classroom in Delta Kappa Gamma Society International for Women.
