Amy arrived at Vermont Wilderness School in 2001 already with 10 years of experience building community through a lens of cross-cultural relations and a foundation of respecting and valuing each being as unique with a role contributing to a larger Ecological Whole.  VWS and the emergent “nature connection” movement became a vibrant learning community of practice for Amy to expand her skills and experience with multi-species, multi-generational community building and learning to live in ways that support future generations of life.

Her specialty is working with children ages 7-11 and adults of all ages in areas of nature awareness, basic survival skills, cultural facilitation, and community building. She completed a Master of Arts in eco-literacy and place-based education from Union Institute and University and a Bachelor’s of Philosophy in Cross-Cultural Communication through the Arts from Miami University.  She is also a Kamana Naturalist Program graduate; completed the White Pine Programs Tracking Apprenticeship Level 2; and is a Graduate of the Guild for Spiritual Guidance Apprenticeship.  The holds the rank of Nidan (2nd Level Black Belt) in Aikido – she has been training since 1998 and continues to actively train as well as teach aikido today.
