She helps leaders craft their stories to communicate and connect better through ghostwritten social media posts and articles.
As a longtime leadership contributor for Forbes, Amy covers personal transformation and its impact on career growth.

And with her latest creative project, she’ll finally share the story brewing in her head and gain a new moniker: novelist.
