After graduating from Houston County High School in 1993, she received a degree in Criminal Justice, with a minor in Psychology, from the University of South Alabama located in Mobile, Alabama. Although Amy always had a passion for helping others, it was during her involvement in student government that she began to become involved in activities where she was able to volunteer with campus groups routinely assisting disabled students. She also spent many hours with Habitat for Humanity. Following graduation from college in Alabama, Amy attended Ohio Northern Universitys law school. There, she was a member of the Law Review and the William H. Taft Inns of Court. In addition to her regular course of study, Amy also participated in a Mediation/Arbitration Clinic as well as represented clients as a student with the Legal Aid Society in Ada, Ohio. She also met her husband, Joshua, while in law school. Over the years, Amy visited extended family in Louisville and always enjoyed the city. After graduating from law school, she decided to move to Louisville to begin her law career. Amy began her career as a Jefferson County Public Defender and, in 2006, was appointed by Jefferson County Family Court Judge Paula F. Sherlock to represent parents, on a weekly basis, in cases involving the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (more commonly known as CPS). Amy currently focuses her practice in the areas of family law, probate law and criminal defense.
