Prior to her municipal work, Amy worked for 30 years in the private sector as an environmental consultant, including 15 years as an independent consultant. Her work focused on wetland delineations and assessment, impact assessment and mitigation design, and permitting from local bylaws to NEPA and USACE compliance.

She has lived in Acton for 30+ years, with the majority of that time serving on the Conservation Commission as well as the Community Preservation Committee. She holds a Master's in Botany/Wetlands from the University of Rhode Island.
