Hello hello, the name is Amy, and this is my third year working for this beloved publication. Unsurprisingly, I love to read and write, but perhaps some of my more obscure pleasures in life include singing to my dog and adventuring with my two sisters, Erica and Iris.  Thank you for checking out the site, your time is greatly appreciated!
