She stands 5'6" with an average build, brown hair, and brown eyes.

Beyond her screen career, Amy has pursued a deep academic journey in theatre. She holds a BA in Theatre from Ashland College, an MA in Theatre from CSUN, and a PhD in Theatre History from the University of Illinois. Her PhD was completed in 2012 with a dissertation on the American stage director and theorist Herbert Blau.
