While working as a college counselor in a New York City public school, Amy began writing a college informational newsletter, Prep News, that was distributed to high school seniors in over 40 public schools. She has also worked as a college counselor coordinator for the Peter Jay Sharp Foundation and as a financial aid educator for CUNY at Home in College, where she developed and presented seminars for under-resourced students. A self-described soccer mom to her kids, Dylan and Mia, Amy’s car is consistently filled to the brim with shin guards, cleats, and enough granola bars to feed a small Midwestern liberal arts college.
