Meet Amy

Elevated Essays guides students in creating powerful personal essays showcasing their talents and achievements.

A former news and sports reporter, Amy has more than 25 years of experience in both writing and editing at daily newspapers and major sports websites. She is also the author of six books and has edited more than 100 novels. In a previous life, she was also an award-winning Mommyblogger.

A mother of three teens, Amy knows how to talk to kids and how to get them to see things in a different light. She also knows they sometimes need both a kick in the butt and a confidence-boosting compliment in the same conversation. As a mom, she also understands the insane schedules and time commitments all families navigate and will be respectful of those things throughout the process.
