Team Member Spotlight: Amy Edwards
Project Manager & HR Specialist of Jambalaya Group
What are your favorite pastime hobbies outside of work?
I love any time all four of my family are in the same place, as it becomes more and more rare! The best date nights are at local breweries with my groom of 26+ years, a good IPA, and a food truck. I enjoy travel (especially to warm weather and w/my besties), eating anything Steve cooks, flower gardening, boating, walking with an audio book, and relaxing with my two small dogs. I give back by sitting on two non-profit boards. One with Yellow Tree Theatre and the other with Play, Laugh, Love, an organization for kids who are fighting life threatening diseases. Fun fact: I was an Irish dancer for 6 years and the only one who had zero Irish decent.
What are your top 5 values?
Relationships, happiness, health, helping others, and meaningful work
What is your role at Jambalaya Group?
My role at Jambalaya has evolved over time. I began in 2015 by splitting my time between HR, Project Management and recruiting. Currently, I am an Associate Franchise Consultant spending the majority of my time in the Project Management role and aiding teams with AFA compensation agreements for novice advisors.
What’s the last book you read?
The Measure by Nicky Erlick - I read it because I believe in family, friendship, hope, and living life to its fullest. Would you choose to know how long you’ll live? I wouldn’t.
