Hi.
I'm so glad you're here!
I’m Amy (she/her). I’m a poet, school psychologist, weirdo, and educator from Pittsburgh. Building and nurturing creative community is one of my deepest passions and I want to do it forever and ever.
​
I offer creative consultation, beginner's poetry classes, poetry workshops, and poetry retreats!
​
My approach to poetry is one that’s steeped in curiosity and appreciation. I don’t have fancy writing degrees but I have a juicy all-encompassing love for learning that I enjoy sharing with others.
​
I strive to present and foster a non-hierarchical spirit in my workshop settings. I am not an expert in craft, rather a human full of wonder and awe, engaging in that wonder in awe with all of you. My goal is to hold space for all of us to learn together.
​
My academic background is in educational psychology and neuropsychology. I have extensive knowledge and training in social emotional learning, academic intervention, classroom differentiation, neurodivergence + learning disabilities, and trauma informed care.
​
Things I love: gardening, french fries, musical theater, tea, eccentric bathroom decor, dogs, hiking, thrifting.
