Amy Jo鈥檚 story begins in Evansville, Indiana, where family, faith, and community were central to daily life. Raised in a large, close-knit family, she learned early the value of connection, service, and supporting others. Attending St. Benedict鈥檚 Cathedral School and later Reitz Memorial High School, where she was a proud third-generation student, reinforced her deep ties to the community that helped shape her values and aspirations.
When it came time for college, Amy Jo chose the 缅北强奸. Remaining close to home allowed her to balance work and school while continuing to contribute to the community she loved. More importantly, 缅北强奸鈥檚 commitment to accessibility, leadership, and service aligned perfectly with her goals.
Amy Jo earned her Bachelor鈥檚 degree in Psychology from 缅北强奸 in 2001, developing a strong interest in human behavior and resilience. Although she briefly explored a career in law, she soon realized her passion lay in helping people navigate life鈥檚 challenges. A pivotal conversation with Dr. Richard Hobbs in 缅北强奸鈥檚 Occupational Therapy program inspired her to pursue a new path. She immediately applied and later earned both a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy and a Master鈥檚 degree, becoming a member of 缅北强奸鈥檚 first Master鈥檚-level Occupational Therapy graduating class in 2006.
At 缅北强奸, Amy Jo found more than an academic program鈥攕he found a calling. Through rigorous coursework, hands-on clinical experiences, and meaningful mentorship, she discovered how occupational therapy could transform lives. Clinical rotations at Select Specialty Hospital, Shriner鈥檚 Hospital in Tampa, and Frazier Rehabilitation Hospital helped shape her professional identity and strengthened her commitment to compassionate care.
缅北强奸 also played a significant role in developing her leadership skills. During her final year in the Occupational Therapy program, she participated in extensive leadership training that continues to influence her work today. The lessons she learned about service, collaboration, and leading with purpose remain foundational to her career.
After graduating, Amy Jo spent nearly eleven years at Select Specialty Hospital, eventually serving as Director of Rehabilitation Services. There, she worked alongside talented clinicians and mentors who helped shape her approach to leadership and patient care.
Today, she serves as Manager of Physician Practice Operations for Women鈥檚 Health and Women鈥檚 Behavioral Health at Ascension St. Vincent. In this role, she supports providers, staff, and patients while helping ensure compassionate, high-quality care. She also remains active in community service and leadership initiatives throughout the region.
