Amy Beeman
Amy Beeman is living her best life.
Most recently, she published her first children’s book “Unwrap Your Dreams”, which is exactly what she’s doing. Beyond her passion for writing, which includes her blog According To Amy, she’s constantly working on fun and exciting projects that include voicing commercials, audio books, and video games!
Amy is a partner in crime to her fabulous husband, Mark, and a mom to three amazing kids: twins Lucy and Sam, and their little brother Stanley. In her spare time (ha!) she sits on the Board of Directors for Ruben’s Shoes Society, a charity that builds schools and provides education for children in the Dominican Republic. This is especially important to her after having adopted her son Stanley from Haiti in 2019.
With an extensive background in dance and theatre, she’s thrilled that her kids also show an interest in the performing arts (along with basketball, football, judo, etc). Sam does ballroom (with his partner Samantha- #SamAndSamantha), Lucy does just about anything that gets her on stage (Amy doesn’t know where she gets that from…), and there’s no stopping Stanley when he gets a microphone in his hands!
Amy loves to collect half marathon medals (28 so far!), travel the world, take a million pictures of her rescue chihuahua-mix, Finley, and fall asleep on the couch watching Netflix.
You can find her on Twitter and Instagram (@amybeeman) and on her website www.amybeeman.com (where you can order her book!).
