Influencer + Content Creator

Hey!

Hey! I’m Amy, a Lifestyle Influencer out of Nebraska. I’ve spent the last four years working as a full time content creator. I love to laugh, tell a good story, and share realistic finds for the everyday gal. 

I believe that there’s nothing more important, or rewarding, on social media than being authentic - consistently - and that’s what I strive for.  My relatable and “real life” approach has earned me a loyal audience that trusts my recommendations, which is invaluable to the brands I work with. If you’re looking for someone with a perfect sad beige home that feeds her children only organic, don’t even bother hitting that follow button.  

My passion: collabing with small businesses and being able to play a small role in watching them succeed. As a former small business owner myself I know what it takes to connect with an audience and turn interest into sales. 

ABOUT ME:
- I’m a wife and mom to three daughters.
- I’m my dog Chubby’s favorite human.
- When I’m not working you can find me living my best life at a country concert, watching my girls play sports, or snuggling up in bed with a good thriller. 
- I think summer fashion is the literal worst and I LIVE for a cozy fall haul. 
- I’m a former boutique owner turned influencer!
