Her Interview
Ten minutes with Amy
01What do you attribute your success to?
I think when I was young, a child, even, what I wanted to be when I grew up, first and foremost, it was always that I wanted to be a mom. I was a nanny for a family for a long time. The mom of the family that I nannied for, she's a doctor. She's absolutely brilliant. When I saw how hard she worked for her family, but also for her patients, but for her career, you know, she's super educated. She is just a naturally very curious woman. I'm a very curious person as well, which I think is one of the reasons why I love children so much. Being a mom and raising kids, it gives you the opportunity to explore those curiosities. That curiosity and having children young and keeping that curiosity has played a big role in who I am today.
