TGI Friday! I have uploaded a new show to my podcast this week! Amy Martin will be joining Sarah Moore today on Writers in the Sky Podcast !Amy Y. Martin is an entrepreneur, author, philanthropist, wife, mother and quite literally, a survivor. Mrs. Martin is originally from Schenectady, New York but her family eventually moved to North Carolina where Amy and her family continue to live today.
During Amy’s teenage years, she endured and conquered incredible odds in her life by overcoming colon cancer, Graves disease, and severe brain trauma from a serious car accident. While most teenagers are enjoying college and extra-curricular activities, Martin was teaching herself how to walk, talk and speak again. Her medical ordeal inspired an interest in physical therapy where she excelled as a therapist. She was able to complete her schooling and holds an Associate Degree in Applied Sciences-Physical Therapist Assistant.
