WORK WITH AMY

I am a journalist, performer, puppeteer, and teaching artist based in Chicago. I work with publications, schools, theaters, organizations, and individuals who want to communicate more clearly, tell stronger stories, or explore new ways of creating and connecting.

PERFORMANCE + CREATIVE COLLABORATION

I am available for acting, puppetry, improvisation, voiceover work, and selected creative collaborations.

​

My performance work combines humor, storytelling, improvisation, and puppetry, with room for complicated human experiences and imagination.

IMPROV + PUPPETRY WORKSHOPS

I lead interactive workshops that use improvisation and puppetry to encourage creativity, communication, confidence, and play.

​

Workshops can be developed for children and teenagers, adults, schools and community organizations, performers and improvisers, and workplace teams.

“As my Supervisor at Everyday Health, Amy gave insightful and positive feedback that helped me recognize ways I can improve my editing and writing skills, while also motivating me to keep striving for better content. She always offered support if I felt overwhelmed by my workload, but she also encouraged me to tackle challenges or pursue new projects, so that I may grow in my position. She also had a hands-off approach that I appreciated—offering guidance, while allowing me to find ways to enhance my skills without stifling my creativity. With Amy, I always knew she looked out for my best interests.”

Linda Thrasybule,

Health and Science Journalist
