“The most meaningful career I could have is helping to educate America,” she says.

Amy is working on a degree in elementary education through SNHU Online and at night at Southern New Hampshire University’s continuing education centers in Manchester and Nashua.

“The faculty are amazing and the classes are all very different, but very relevant,” says the Hudson, N.H., resident.

“SNHU offers a flexible schedule, which is a huge plus, and the staff are not only prompt with their communication, but willing to work with individual needs.”

Her ultimate goal is teaching elementary school-level special needs students.

Keeping track of everyone and everything in her life requires a lot of energy and a very big calendar. Amy is expecting her fourth child next March; her husband is fellow SNHU Go-Getter Scott LeBlanc. She also runs a Junior Girl Scout troop and works part time for Easter Seals, offering direct support to special needs adults at their job sites.

Her family is her inspiration.

“I’m doing this for my children,” she says. “I want them to be proud of what I've accomplished and to recognize that if you believe you can do something, you can.”
