Amy is your go-to source for making informed decisions about your money, whether you’re refinancing a mortgage, buying disability insurance or choosing investments. An inveterate skeptic, she leaves no footnote unread in her quest to empower friends, family and strangers on the internet to manage their finances and look out for their own interests.

When she’s not falling down yet another research rabbit hole, you can find Amy squinting through a viewfinder or snuggling her cats.
