My name is Amy McL. and I am the Relief Society Counselor over the meeting formerly known as Enrichment J. I was born in Fairfax County, Virginia, the second of seven children, but moved to Salt Lake City when I was two years old and spent the rest of my growing up years there. I attended BYU where I studied English Teaching and Journalism. Shortly after returning from my mission to the Amazon region of Brazil, I met my husband, Mark, in my BYU singles ward. I instantly found him handsome, fun, and charming, but I was a little afraid of making such a big decision. Fortunately, he is an eternal optimist and someone who likes a challenge and so he didn’t take my comment that “there was no chance of anything ever happening romantically between us” seriously. We have now been married ten years and are the parents of three fun, and busy little girls – Emily (7), Abigail (5), and Jane (3).
After BYU, I taught high school English for two years before we moved to Boston, MA where we lived for five years and where I received a Masters in Education from Harvard University. We then spent two years in Charlottesville, Virginia before moving to Katy where we’ve been for a little over a year. I currently stay at home with my girls and help review graduate school applicant essays as a small, at-home side job.
I love spending time with my family, reading, writing, fall, singing, finishing projects (as somewhat of a procrastinator, I especially enjoy the finishing part), traveling, dreaming about traveling (England is my current dream destination), eating anything with pumpkin in the recipe, hiking, trying new recipes, playing the viola, Jane Austen books, old movies, and playing tennis. I try to endure exercising and hot weather.
I so enjoy working with the sisters in Relief Society and hope to get to know you all better!
