a writer, comedian, director, and classically trained dramatic actress who realized she was funny. She now uses her ability to cry on cue to get her contact lenses out when they’re stuck.
Her first writing gig was in the sixth grade when her teacher asked her to write the school play and ever since then she’s been chasing that high.
Amy’s dark-comedy-step-sibling-addiction-romcom, Forty-Eight Steps was recently one of six projects chosen for the Black List Feature Lab.
Besides that, her work has been featured on lots of lists, won an award at the Napa Valley Film Festival, and been in the last round for the Nicholl.
She likes to joke about her religious upbringing, being the whitest part Latina in her family, and her inability to understand what a 401k is.
She also has a recurring dream that her teeth are falling out but I wouldn’t read too much into that.
