Amy graduated from the University of Southern California in 2009. After receiving her undergraduate degree from the USC Marshall School of Business in Marketing, she stayed in Los Angeles and joined Party Planners West in 2010. After 11 years working on some of the largest and most prestigious events, Amy took a break to pursue (semi)professional pickleball and to start a family. She rejoins the special events industry with 1 Team Event Management and brings an expertise in event operations, administration, IT, logistics and staffing coordination to the team.  

As an avid and nationally-ranked pickleball player, Amy is a true competitor and understands the value of teamwork.
