About Aging Unbound

Amy is a nationally recognized thought leader in serving adults and older adults in public libraries and other arts and cultural spaces. She is an expert in older adult development, creative aging, intergenerational communication, program design, and dementia. Amy has spearheaded a positive aging approach that is rooted in neurology, psychology, and the social and emotional needs of people as they age.
