Amy completed her residency in 2011, specializing in pediatric orthotic treatment, and in 2012, she was promoted to Clinical Director, overseeing the growth and expansion of Infinite Technologies. In 2020, she enrolled in a Master’s program at the University of Hartford where she has also received her Prosthetics training. She currently treats adult and pediatric orthotic and prosthetic patients out of the Arlington office location.
