Amy has experienced Army life from nearly every angle. During her father’s 30 years as an active duty Army officer, she lived on several stateside military posts, as well as in South Korea and graduated from high school in Germany.
Amy commissioned as a military intelligence officer in the US Army after completed ROTC at Tulane University. She later deployed with the 2-3 Stryker Brigade Combat Team to Iraq from 2009-2010. Amy left the Army in 2011, but continued to serve as the spouse of an active duty Army officer.
In 2018, having found that yoga was a practice to help her own anxiety needs, Amy became a 200 RYT. Since that time, she has completed her 500 RYT training with nOMad always at OM, Warriors at Ease Level 1 Training, and the Veterans' Yoga Project Mindful Resilience Training as well as VYP's Advanced Training Summit.
In 2019, she was excited to merge her two knowledge bases of the military and yoga to help found TRIBE.
She is passionate about building the resiliency of the greater military community in order to ensure their mental, emotional, and physical welfare and to honor their service.
