Home and Away fans will have seen Amy a few years ago when she played a nurse in the series. When she was offered the role of Dr Rachel Armstrong in Home and Away, Amy was truly excited. "To have full time work as an actor is a dream come true! It’s just amazing to do what I love every day," Amy says..

"It’s hard work", says Amy, "but I’m loving it! I love working with Ada (Nicodemou) and Jon (Sivewright). They’re not only great actors, but lots of fun!"
