Please mark your calendars to join us August 15th, 4:00 – 6:00p for our Scottsdale Ridge open house. Come meet our newly appointed Branch Manager, Amy Schaupeter, and mingle with her great team, while enjoying cocktails and hor d’oeuvres.
Born in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, Amy moved with her family to Denver while she was still in elementary school. Amy is a “middle child”, with an older and a younger brother. She says they are very close, even though they do not live close to one another. Her younger brother lives in Colorado and her older brother lives in St. Louis.
Amy went to college at the University of Colorado - Boulder (Go Buffaloes!), but while in college, she got the “acting bug” and took some time out to move to New York City to pursue an acting career. With completing a year in acting school in New York, Amy got a job in the theater – weekends were spent doing children’s theater projects, as well. Amy had four different bartender jobs to help with finances while in New York City and soon realized that the theater was not the life she wanted, so she traveled in Europe on her own for a couple of months before returning to college in Colorado where she completed her degree in communications and theater.
Amy fell into “escrow land” by answering a job ad in Grand Junction, CO for a company called CPR Title. She thought the job sounded interesting and was up for a challenge (little did she know, right?). While she lived in California she worked for Brighton Escrow. Feeling the need for a change of scenery, Amy moved to Arizona in July of 2005 and continued to further her escrow career.
Some interesting facts about Amy and some of her “favorites”: She has two dogs, Maggie and Faith, and two cats, Rex and Daisy – all are rescued animals. Amy found Rex as a kitten while Amy was white water rafting with friends in California. Amy really enjoys all the water sports, but her exercise of choice is either running or hiking. She is an avid reader of fiction and mysteries. Cooking and entertaining family and friends is high on her list of favorite things to do, too. Her special apple pie is always requested and she makes a “mean” lasagna, she says. Amy also enjoys trying ethnic foods like Indian and Greek. Italy is one of her most favorite places to visit.
When asked what she likes about working for Fidelity, Amy did not hesitate with her response. “I like working for a company that really cares about its people”, Amy offered. “The resources, support teams, the great store of knowledge and accessibility to that knowledge are such a benefit.”
As to sharing a little “life advice” with us, Amy says that being a cancer survivor has taught her to never take anything for granted and to be grateful for everything we have. Amy has been “cancer-free” for over two years now.
