Amy is an accomplished speaker who regularly presents to prestigious US medical centers such as, NYU, University of Chicago, University of Michigan and UCLA. She tells her audiences, “I kill people I didn’t like at work and use their organs for transplant – why waste the kill?”
As Director of Clinical Operations at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), Amy oversaw a team that successfully completed over 600 transplants annually. She learned early on in her medical career that humor was an important survival skill and studied improvisation at the world premier school, Second City, in Chicago.
She enjoys speaking about writing mysteries, marrying your passions with writing, organ transplantation, instilling humor into intense careers and Chair Yoga.
