Born and raised on a small dairy farm in South Dakota, wildlife and wide open spaces
have always held a special place in Amy's heart. After receiving a BS in Environmental Management and
a MS in Biological Sciences from South Dakota State University, she spent a couple
of years in Wyoming before venturing to Bethel, Alaska where she worked at the UAF
Kuskokwim Campus. A job opportunity for her husband brought the two of them to Fairbanks
where Amy started working as an Admissions Counselor at the UAF Troth Yeddha campus.
When not helping students, Amy enjoys reading, crocheting and card making and on occasion
running and biking. She shares her home with her 8 year-old daughter, husband and
14 year-old tabby cat.
