After 6 years with a national environmental education program as part of UW-Stevens Point’s College of Natural Resources, Amy joined another CNR outreach program, Extension Lakes, in 2003, and is the production manager for many of their publications (both printed and digital). She edits and designs the long-running newsletter (Lake Tides), the bi-monthly eNews (Lake Ripples), fact sheets, posters, brochures, and multi-media presentations, as well as helping to maintain the Extension Lakes website. She also coordinates social media efforts for the Wisconsin Lakes and Rivers Partnership Facebook page and for Extension Lakes’ Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube channels. She assists with the Wisconsin Lakes and Rivers Convention, the Lake Leaders Institute, the Citizen Lake Monitoring Network, the Clean Boats, Clean Waters Watercraft Inspection Program, and the Healthy Lakes & Rivers Initiative through editing, design, marketing, photography, and videography.

Amy holds a B.S. in Psychology with an emphasis in Human Services from UW-Stevens Point. Even though her degree did not lead her into a natural resources position, she is very connected to nature. She grew up in rural central Wisconsin on a family farm and was involved in 4-H, is active in Stevens Point’s Growing Collective, and loves learning about our natural world. Her 20+ years of design experience have been mostly self-taught. She enjoys telling and listening to stories, biking, kayaking, hiking, gardening, skiing, volleyball, softball, golf, board/card games, and playing/singing music with her family.​
