Hi! I’m Amie. I currently cover the New Orleans Saints for The Times-Picayune | New Orleans Advocate. I previously covered LSU for NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune.

I was born and raised on a farm outside of Funk, Nebraska, and grew to love sports on the playground at Axtell Community School. I’m a proud graduate of Lincoln Southeast High School, though admit I spent three years figuring things out at Lincoln East High School.

Before NOLA, I was the Missoulian’s Griz football beat reporter and preps reporter. While in college as a news and information major at the University of Kansas, I interned at The Washington Post, worked as a stringer for The Associated Press, served as a Chiefs correspondent and stringer for The Topeka Capital-Journal and held various positions at The University Daily Kansan, including sports editor, special sections editor, columnist, photographer and beat reporter.
