Amy Lewis grew up in the SE Portland area- Mt. Tabor to be exact. Amy has two sisters and a brother, and one of her sister siblings is her twin! She laughs that people still can get them "mixed up!" While growing up, Amy played saxophone, piano, sang and did drama. She also played basketball. Describing herself as shy and an average student, she loved growing up in a large family and attending Portland Christian School from grades 8-12. Amy went on to Warner Pacific Christian College, earning a Bachelor's degree in Christian Education after her four years at the school. Amy has always been drawn to youth. After college she worked within churches as a Director of Children's Ministries and a mentor for youth ministries. In 2009 Amy got her Masters of Arts degree from Concordia. Today she and David share four beautiful children ages 8-14. They are kept quite busy with David working full-time as a Corbett teacher and herself working part-time as a Corbett Grade School Intervention Teacher. Amy has been at Corbett for two years and currently job shares with Rachel Dolkas. Amy and David's entire family are runners. The three oldest children are officially on a track team and run on a consistent basis, but the youngest as well as Amy and David also run as time allows. Their oldest daughter is currently a freshman at Barlow High School and one of their top runners! Amy laughs that they all time their runs, and she is now officially the slowest runner in the family! The family is also involved in their local church and spends lots of time with their extended family. Amy also still loves to sing and play guitar. Right now the family is focused on eating a Paleo diet, and Amy spends a great deal of time cooking lots of fresh meals to keep her family healthy and happy! She is fascinated with the relationship between the brain and food, studying nutrition on a regular basis.
