Amy is a Grand Junction, Colorado native whose love of softball began at an early age. After playing Little League and high school softball, she earned a scholarship to continue her playing career at Dakota Wesleyan University. During her three seasons at DWU, she served as a team captain, earned All-American honors, and finished her collegiate career with a .418 batting average, a mark that remains in the program's record book. Amy graduated from DWU with a Bachelor of Arts in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing before returning to Grand Junction to raise her family. 

As her children grew older and began playing Little League, she found her way back to the softball field, first as a Little League coach and later as an assistant coach at the high school level. She also returned to school, earning a Master of Arts in Education in Secondary Education and her teaching certification. She went on to spend 15 years working in high school education, where she held a variety of teaching, student-support, and leadership roles. 

Amy's involvement with Colorado Mesa University Club Softball began with its inaugural season in 2015, when a former Little League player she had coached recommended her for the head coaching position. She has been with the program ever since. With her career in education now behind her, Amy is looking forward to dedicating more of her time to softball and taking on a new role as a regional director. After more than a decade as a club softball coach, she is excited for the opportunity to support teams and coaches in a new capacity and continue giving back to the sport that has been such an important part of her life. 

While softball has been a lifelong passion, Amy considers raising her two children to be her greatest accomplishment. She is incredibly proud of the adults they have become and enjoys spending time with her husband, Matt, and their family.
