Amy grew up in Connecticut in the Conservative Jewish tradition. She majored in Studio Art and Religion at Wesleyan University, traveled to India and Nepal on a Buddhist Studies Program, and after teaching for two years, entered the M.A./Ph.D. program in Religion at Syracuse University. She began attending the Unitarian Universalist church in 1992 and left Syracuse after receiving her M.A. in order to follow the call into the ministry.

During her eight years in Vermont, Amy studied at Harvard Divinity School, graduated and was ordained in 2000, and served as minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Rutland for four years.
