Amy got her associates degree in Biology at Delaware County Community College before transferring to the University of Utah (the U) in 1993. Amy has over 20 years of experience working with zebrafish. She has studied axon pathfinding, neuromuscular junctions, and most recently BMP signaling with Mary Mullins. Amy made her way back to the U in early 2022 and is currently characterizing snail gene mutants. When not at work, Amy likes watching all Philadelphia sports, hiking with her dog, and reading.
