She began her career as a prosecutor, serving as an Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney in the City of Hampton, Va. from 2008-2012 and Loudoun County, Va. from 2012-2020. In that time, she litigated cases ranging in severity from traffic tickets to murder and everything in between. She also developed a specialty in criminal street gang-related prosecutions and mental health related cases and helped to develop the Loudoun General District Court’s Mental Health Docket. Amy served as the legal instructor for her local police agency's Crisis Intervention Training for more than five years and received commendations from three law enforcement agencies related her work on three different homicide cases between 2016-2019.

During the pandemic in 2020, Amy pivoted to civil practice and joined Allstate Insurance Company’s Client Legal Services Office. She served as a Senior Attorney there until the fall of 2024. At Allstate, she handled litigation matters involving bodily injury claims, property damage, automobile diminished value, wrongful death, infant settlements, contractual disputes, and fraud and coverage investigations. She collected more than $2 million in subrogation recoveries for Allstate and its Virginia insureds during her time with the company. In 2024, she pivoted to private practice, joining a small, woman-owned firm in a leadership role before opening her own firm in 2026.

Amy grew up in Northern Virginia and she earned a bachelor’s degree in Journalism & Criminal Justice from the University of Richmond. Though she initially thought she wanted to be a reporter, she opted to pursue the law instead after spending a semester interning at a metropolitan newspaper. She attended law school at George Mason University School of Law as an evening student while working full time as the Assistant Director of the Spotsylvania County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Victim/Witness Program. She finished the evening program in 3.5 years and was licensed to practice law in April 2008.

She currently serves on the Board of Directors as the Treasurer of the Loudoun Bar Foundation, a non-profit organization that sponsors scholarships and enrichment programs for Loudoun County, Va. residents.

Outside of court, Amy is a mom, wife, former athlete, and avid fan of all things Olympics. She also enjoys traveling to places near & far, attending concerts and musicals, rowing indoors with her Row House gym, trying Michelin-starred restaurants with her husband, and spending as much time outdoors and near the ocean as possible.
