Ten minutes with Amy

01What do you attribute your success to?

My success comes from staying consistent, staying prepared, and staying willing to learn.


I’ve grown quickly because I show up every day ready to work, ready to solve problems, and ready to support my team. I trust in my work ethic, I stay organized, and I don’t shy away from challenges — I break them down and figure them out.


That mindset, combined with adaptability and genuine care for the people I work with, has carried me farther than I ever imagined..

02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

The best advice I’ve ever received is:





“Influence isn’t loud — it’s about showing up, doing the work, and becoming the person people trust when it matters.”

That has shaped how I lead, how I support others, and how I carry myself in every role.

03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

.My biggest advice is to never be afraid to ask questions — you’re not expected to know everything on day one. Stay organized, be dependable, and keep showing up with a positive attitude. Trust in the value of your voice and your perspective, because you bring something unique to the table. Build strong relationships, stay prepared, and treat everyone with respect.



First impressions matter, and the habits you build early will carry you far. I also believe influence isn’t loud; it’s about showing up, doing the work, and becoming the person people trust when it matters.

04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?


Logistics and operations are evolving fast. Some of the biggest challenges — and opportunities — include:


• Representation: Women are still underrepresented in industrial and logistics environments, but that gap creates space for strong female leadership.


• Technology and automation: New systems are changing how work gets done, and those who embrace them early gain an advantage.


• Communication and coordination: As operations become more complex, teams need people who can bridge gaps, anticipate needs, and keep workflows organized.


• Workforce reliability: Companies need dependable people who can stay calm under pressure — a strength I’ve built my career on.


These shifts create room for growth, leadership, and innovation for anyone willing to adapt.

05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

The values that guide me — both at work and in my personal life — are integrity, dependability, respect, growth, compassion, and service. I believe in doing the right thing even when no one is watching, being someone people can count on, and treating everyone with professionalism and kindness. I’m always looking for ways to learn, improve, and help others grow, and I try to approach every situation with empathy and a willingness to support people through challenges.



Service is also a core part of who I am, whether I’m supporting my team, stepping in to solve problems before they arise, or giving back to causes that matter deeply to me, like the local humane society and the Livestrong Cancer Foundation in honor of my dad. I’ve always believed that influence isn’t loud — it’s about showing up, doing the work, and becoming the person people trust when it matters.



In everything I do, I aim to uplift others, especially women entering male‑dominated fields, by being approachable, helpful, and leading by example.
