Bio

In 1995, Amy Downs was one of the last survivors to be pulled from the rubble following the Oklahoma City bombing which killed 168 people including 18 of her 33 co-workers at the Federal Employees Credit Union.

Embracing her second chance at life, Amy launched a campaign of self- improvement and empowerment. She went from a 355-pound couch potato to completing a Full Ironman Triathlon. From flunking out of math class to earning her master’s degree in Business Administration. From a teller to CEO of the same
credit union nearly destroyed in the bombing.

Amy is now a full time speaker and author of Hope is a Verb, which is available on Amazon. Most recently, Amy was featured in two documentaries produced by National Geographic and Netflix.
