Experience

Amy's editorial experience spans more than two decades, during which time she regularly contributed to or contracted with more than a dozen print and digital publications, including BUST Magazine and Salon. Starting in 2017, she worked as a newsroom researcher for three years in the 11th biggest market in the U.S., where duties included fact-checking, voluminous information gathering, document deciphering, and writing web copy. At Grunge, she uses those same skills to vet facts and find interesting nuggets about musicians, songs, and rock's historical influence on pop culture.
