Amy

Amy started practicing Taekwondo in 2007 when she walked by the Changs studio and decided to try out a class. She was looking for an alternative to triathlons and playing soccer that would instill discipline, maintain fitness and increase flexibility. She was immediately hooked. With a background in education and a history of coaching she became an assistant instructor two years ago. She currently holds her red and black belt. Amy earned her Bachelor’s of Science in Elementary Education and Special Education from Vanderbilt University and her Masters in Business Administration from Northwestern University. By day she is the Executive Director of America SCORES Chicago, a non-profit after school program on the west side of Chicago, the CFO of Up2US and non-profit sports based youth development organization and is pursuing her Doctorate in Education at University of Illinois at Chicago. ****
