Hi, I'm Amy. I live in Minneapolis near the Chain of Lakes where I walk and bike on the trails and around the lakes.
I'm a graduate of the University of Minnesota Duluth where I was the co-editor of the Arts & Entertainment section of my college newspaper and graduated with a B.A. in communications and journalism. I attended the University of St. Thomas, where I received a Master's Certificate in Business Communications, and I have a TEFL Certificate (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) from Hamline University.
I love to read, do photography (both digital and film), take latin dance classes and travel. My travels have brought me throughout the United States and Europe, and to Canada, Mexico, Peru, and Costa Rica, where I lived for a year—teaching ESL at a language school in Jaco Beach.
I'm a graduate of the 230-hour yoga teacher training program at the Yoga Center Retreat and I practice yoga regularly. I am passionate about health, wellness and environmental sustainability and that is what I most enjoy writing about.
