Profile

Where I Live:: Albuquerque - NE Heights

About Me:: Amy was born and raised in Las Cruces, New Mexico and has visited every town - even the really small ones - in the state of New Mexico at least once. She now lives in Albuquerque, which is a much more interesting place than Santa Fe, despite what you’ve seen in the movies. She has been married to her college sweetheart, Eric, for about 8 times as long as most Hollywood star marriages last and she is mom to a beautiful and very headstrong little boy, Kenneth, who was born on Harry Potter’s birthday in 2006.

Amy graduated from a tiny college in Eastern New Mexico (an area where the cow population outnumbers the human population) with a degree in communications in 1998. When asked what she does for a living, she replies “I change jobs every three years.” She has spent most of her career working in marketing and communications while trying to decide which of her childhood career aspirations to pursue (astronaut is probably out, but archaeologist and teacher are still on the table). She currently works as the Director of Marketing for Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho.

Amy’s goals are to perfect her beef stroganoff recipe, to figure out what keeps happening to Kenneth’s socks in the wash, to spend less money at Gymboree and Oompa Toys, and to decide what she wants to do with her life now that she is a grown-up. Her favorite things are her husband and son, mafia movies, the ladies who clean her house twice a month, television medical dramas, Death Cab for Cutie, Keen sandals, sleeping in, and her iPod.

Favorite Thing(s) About Albuquerque:: The diversity of cultural experience. How friendly and helpful people are, even to perfect strangers. The weather. The food. How the full moon looks when it rises over the mesa. Just about everything.

Relationship Status:: Married

My Website:: http://marketingroadkill.blogspot.com/

What I'm Reading:: The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann
Alias Grace, The Robber Bride and the Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood

What I'm Listening To:: Death Cab for Cutie

Lily Allen
Massive Attack
Keane
