about me

creative. poet. writer. editor.

Welcome! I’m Amy, a poet, author, and editor hailing from the garden state.

My creative repertoire spans poetry and short-form prose, where I delve into diverse themes including nature, mental well-being, personal development, and the intricacies of the human journey.

Within these pages, you’ll discover glimpses of my poetic endeavors and musings, along with updates on forthcoming publications.

Check out my Substack, Once Upon a Writing, for up-to-date thought pieces, poems and essays.

Feel free to connect if you’re in need of editorial support or collaboration on your projects.

Following the completion of my bachelor's degree in English Literature, I transitioned into the realm of professional writing.

I acquired certification as a technical writer and ventured into freelance editing.

Presently, I am a contract analyst at a New York City-based tech company.
