Interesting tidbits about Amy
How did you get interested in your current line of work?
I love the dynamic, creative environment of an agency, as well as the team-oriented focus. Being an Account Exec enables me to be a part of the process from start to finish, which I find fascinating. It's amazing how different your end result can be from your initial direction, I love that process.

What is your most embarrassing food-related incident?
I had to stop, drop and roll in the middle of a busy restaurant because I accidentally lit myself on fire. Worst part was, everyone at my table had gone to the restroom, so I had no one to laugh about it with.

What is the worst food you've ever eaten? The most unique?
Haggis in Scotland. That's probably the most unique as well, although there were a lot of things I tried in Asia that I have no idea what they were.

What is your favorite kind of pizza?
Pineapple and jalapeno with red pepper flakes.

What music are you IN to?
Tons! I have a pretty eclectic taste in music. The Shins, Keane, Neko Case, Justin Timberlake (yes, I'll admit it), Dolly Parton, Ben Harper, The Fratelli's, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cold Play, just to name a few.

What movies are you IN to?
I really like foreign and indie films. Some of my favs include Amelie, Big Fish, Sin City, Life is Beautiful, Once and Garden State.
