Amy Mejias
My name is Amy, and I’m a married mother to three wonderful boys. Originally from Southern California, I’ve called Chattanooga home since 2010. I hold a Master of Social Work degree and absolutely love both my day job and my second role as an adjunct university professor. I’m passionate about my faith, my family, and traveling whenever I get the chance. My family and I enjoy everything Chattanooga has to offer!
