Born a Gemini in the year of 1993, to Charles and ChiSuk Beard, I was given the name Amy. Over the course of my 21 years of existence, I have lived on 3 of the 7 continents. My indescribable wanderlust paired with a severe curiosity for fantastic cuisines fuels my gypsy tendencies.
Writing is my interest; food is my passion. My dream is basically to become a female Anthony Bourdain; creating a nexus between the practical and the palatable.
Additional interests include reading, running, hiking, EDM, Auburn football (WDE), and taking care of my dog.
As a senior English major, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at North Georgia. While at the university, I have met phenomenal people (peers and faculty) and expanded my life experience through the fantastic opportunities that our university offers.
I hope that my time with the University Press will allow me to broaden my academic skills and professional experiences while also allowing me a sliver of an opportunity to give back to a university that has already given me so much.
