Amy Miller
Educational Consultant

Amy Miller received her undergraduate degree from Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin and her Master’s Degree in education from DePaul University in Chicago. Currently she works full-time for the Chicago Public Schools as a Reading Specialist. Though she has worked in both general and special education, her primary interest lies in helping students with difficulties in reading and writing.

Amy is active as a volunteer for the Lawrence University admissions office, making phone calls to local prospective and admitted students to answer questions and act as a personal contact at the school. When she was in high school, an introductory call from a local Lawrence student helped her to make her decision to attend. Amy believes a personal touch and plenty of one-on-one guidance is the key to negotiating the path to (and through) college! She remembers college as one of the most important times in her life and enjoys helping students as they move toward college.

After college, and while working as a paralegal for a Chicago law firm, she volunteered as a tutor and mentor for homeless youth. It was this experience that gave her the passion for helping students to get the most out of their lives and encouraged her to pursue a career in education.

As no life is complete without some free time, Amy spends hers playing beach volleyball, biking along Chicago’s lakefront, exploring the city’s great neighborhoods, eating out and reading at home.
