Guthrie Memorial Scholarship, which honored the top restorative dentist for the class of 2004.

Dr. Amy also participates in the Spear Study Club and the Spencer Study Club, both of which are an extensive, world renowned continuing education programs that focus on excellence in dental techniques, technology, cosmetic dental treatments, sleep apnea and TMJ disorders. In 2020 when the office had to close for the Covid-19 pandemic, Dr. Amy wrote a book, Sleep Reboot: Unlocking the Power of Sleep in Your Life, which discusses the incredible value of sleep and the importance of a great night’s sleep in restoring your body and mind every day.

A life-long native of Snohomish County, she was born and raised in the Clearview area of Snohomish, Washington and graduated from Monroe High School in 1996. She graduated from the University of Washington in 2000 with a Bachelors degree in Cell and Molecular Biology, and a Minor in Music. It was in high school that she first became interested in dentistry, and after graduating, started working for a local orthodontist as an assistant and lab technician. Her career as a dentist was solidified as she realized how much she enjoyed working with and serving people in a profession that allows you to be very creative and artistic, as well as technical.

She has lived in Snohomish County with her husband, Kevin, since they were married in September, 2000. Kevin is a high school basketball coach and the senior pastor of their ministry, Revelation Church, a non-denominational Christian church and discipleship group. They had their first boy, Jude, in September of 2011, and their second, Tate, in July of 2015, of which Dr. Amy loves spending all of her free time with. As a family, you will find them traveling annually to Maui, their favorite place, and playing with their four retired greyhounds, also known as the world’s fastest couch potatoes!
