As a leadership coach, Amy helps Christian leaders get clear on their calling and fully engage in life with guiding purpose. She specializes in working with people who find themselves on the edge of something new, whether a new role, organization, approach, project, or career. She holds an English degree from Trinity International University, an MBA from the University of Colorado, and CPCC certification from Coaches Training Institute.

Amy and her husband, Trevor, live in the suburbs of Chicago, where she is committed to perfecting her dry sense of humor and reading nearly everything she can.
