Meet another Amy!
Mom to 3 and truly one of the nicest people you may ever meet, Amy is a Child Neuropsychologist (basically she’s super smart!), and followed her passion for kids and science which brought her to where she is now. A self-proclaimed “dork” at heart, Amy loves school, Bar Taco, skiing, sailing, and anything she can do with her incredible family. Some fun facts – she hates socks, wearing her hair down, and can double at Soul Cycle and not seem tired after at all. She is a rockstar- in every way.

In her spare time, Karen wakes up – often at 430ish-am – to get a run in before the day, is the King’s Highway PTA president, and can be found at Compo Beach or the Spotted Horse eating the spoon salad (every time)!
