Amy is from a small barrier island off the coast of South Carolina! She attended University of Georgia (Honors College) and holds undergraduate degrees in Microbiology and German, as well as an M.D. and a PhD in cellular biology, and is currently a fellow in pediatric oncology/hematology at Boston Children’s/Dana-Farber. After playing locally with the Longwood Symphony, Orchestra Without Borders, and the Boston Bruckner Festival, among others, Amy joined New Phil in 2018. Along with the viola she also plays violin, French Horn and euphonium! Her extended family is also musical- two cousins are professional brass and woodwind players, and her great uncle was a horn player in John Philip Sousa’s band! Outside of New Phil you can find Amy hiking with her rescue dog, Apollo (who also loves music- especially the horn!). She also loves to read, run, and rock climb.
