Amy Chow

Amy Chow is passionate about teaching county residents about physical activity and making better food choices. She goes the extra mile to help her participants avoid health issues.

Chow joined the Extension and the Illinois Nutrition Education Programs team in 2012. As a community outreach worker, Amy provides reached-based information to youth, parents, and adults. She teaches them how to achieve a healthy lifestyle by making simple, cost-effective choices—for example, getting their vitamins and minerals from fresh fruits and vegetables, not supplements and pills.   

It brings Amy joy when the people in her workshops tell her that they enjoyed the classes and ask her, "When are you coming back?"
