A Note from Amy
I come from a family of writers.
My grandparents documented their adventures of the 1940s and 1950s in handwritten memoirs that continue to fuel my love for writing today.
From a young age, I knew that words held immense power, and my passion for writing was ignited when my aunt submitted one of my poems to the local newspaper.
Since then, I’ve honed my skills through a diverse career in banking, HR, operations & IT management, community engagement, and contract management. This unique background has resulted in strong business acumen and refined communication and writing abilities, which I can now share with women in small business to help them on their journey to success.
At Conscious Copy, we are committed to bringing together our expertise, passion for writing, and profound understanding of women’s journeys to help you make a lasting impact. Let’s embark on this journey together, creating conscious copy that elevates your brand, connects with your audience, and drives meaningful results.
My vision is to collaborate with women-led businesses.
To spread love, to inspire, to educate and to help others to grow and evolve.
