Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Amy earned her law degree from the University of Denver, Sturm College of Law, where she graduated in the top ten percent of her class.  She served as both the Articles Editor for the Denver Law Review and an editor for the Denver Journal of International Law and Policy. During law school, Amy served as a judicial extern for federal court judges for both the District of Colorado and Northern District of Texas.  Amy also clerked for the Consumer Protection Unit at the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, where she directly contributed to Colorado’s landmark suit against Juul, the e-cigarette conglomerate.

Originally from London, England, Amy and her family began skiing in Colorado from the time she was a mere seven-years-old, as her father was a pilot for British Airways. She eventually became a nationally certified ski instructor, while making Denver her adopted home town. Amy holds a dual Master of Arts in International Relations and Modern History from the University of St. Andrews, where she composed her dissertation on the principle of legality in international criminal law.
