Amy is a geeky sort of girl who is equally comfortable in Stormtrooper armor and flouncy skirts. Okay, actually, Stormtrooper armor is far from comfortable, but you get the point.

She was raised in Ohio but has lived in the glorious state of California for almost five years. She feels lucky to be a short drive away from the mountains of Yosemite or the dunes of Death Valley. She gets outdoors as often as she can to take advantage of hiking opportunities in the area and loves speeding east into the desert to go climbing. Her camera is almost always in tow. She can be bribed with coffee and French pastries.

She has been a geek since watching a Star Trek episode way back when. Things quickly went downhill from there to include fantasy books, graphic novels, tabletop gaming, costumes, and an unhealthy obsession with Star Wars. She likes to spend time writing about anything geek or costumes and occasionally she even writes a short story.

She has no idea what she wants to be when she grows up, but until then, she will keep playing D&D, reading comics, and perfecting the ultimate chic lightsaber. Strong female characters in the world of geek (movies, comics, & books) influence her attitude and costumes.
