Amy grew up in Clayton, Georgia. She decided at a very young age that she wanted to become a nurse so she “could help people.” Amy attended Brenau University in Gainesville for her Bachelors degree in Nursing (BSN). She then worked as an RN in labor and delivery and in an OB/GYN office for 8 years. During that time, she taught prepared childbirth and breastfeeding classes as well as developed and taught a “What to Expect” class for newly pregnant/ first time parents.

After spending time with women during their pregnancies and during labor and delivery, Amy decided that she wanted to be more involved in the care of women of all ages and with various healthcare needs. She made the decision to further her education and become a midwife. She graduated with honors from Emory University in Atlanta with a Masters degree in Nursing (MSN) in December 2005. She completed her national exam, obtained her Advanced Practice Nurse-CNM license, and began the career she loves in January 2006.

Amy is delighted to join Crown Mountain Women’s Health and to serve the Dahlonega and Dawsonville communities. She feels like midwifery is her true calling in life and loves caring for pregnant and non-pregnant women during the childbearing years. Being part of a smaller practice allows her to truly get to know her patients as individuals and to give them the high level of care that every woman deserves. Amy focuses on providing optimal health care to women, while acknowledging and respecting their needs. She encourages patient education, active participation in your own care, clear communication, and an individualized health care experience.

Amy lives in North Hall County with her husband, Jeff, two dogs, and a cat. She has two grown children- Geoffrey and Alissa. She enjoys shopping, reading, gardening, and spending time with her family.
