During her studies, Amy served as a legal researcher and writer for the Cornell Legal Information Institute, a non-profit public service organization that promotes open access to legal knowledge worldwide. She completed her legal internship in rural Iowa helping underprivileged families attain legal representation. Having fallen in love with the kind people of the Hawkeye State, Amy decided to return to Iowa to begin her legal career and focus her practice on helping injury victims and their families.

After five years in Iowa, Amy and her husband, Iowa-native Joseph P. Cummings, relocated to the Dallas-Fort Worth region of Texas where Amy continues her career working for the Thomas J. Henry law firm.
