Amy holds a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Georgia State University. She was named 2008-2009 M.H. Mason Elementary School Teacher of the Year. In 2015, she was the recipient of a $15,000 grant to build a hydro/aquaponics lab, which is the first of its kind in Gwinnett county. She hopes that the lab will not only help students master science standards, but also produce healthy foods to donate to families in the community.
