We receive many questions about the people who help to run Historic Rock Castle behind the scenes and we'd like to introduce a few of those individuals to you in a segment we call "Rocking With Our Staff"! We post a profile for one of our staff, board members, or volunteers, highlighting the person and their contributions to our site. We're excited to be able to show you all the heart of this site and introduce to you some new and old faces along the way!
For this first week's segment, we chose to highlight an extremely vital member of our staff, our site's Program Director, Amy Scott! Amy has been with our site for nearly four years now, and is probably a pretty familiar face to many of you who have visited us before! We're extremely fortunate to have her on our Team and we are excited to help you get to know her a little better!
We began by asking Amy a few questions about herself:
What is your (full) name? Amy Michelle Scott
When is your birthday? May 14th
What starsign does that make you? Taurus
What is your favorite color? Purple
What is your degree in? My degree is in Cultural Anthropology.
Whats your lucky number? Probably fourteen--because it's even and it's my birthday!
Where are you originally from? Hendersonville, Tennessee
Do you have any pets? Yes, more than one.
What hobbies do you enjoy? Looking at Pinterest!
What is your best achievement to date? Graduating college would probably be my greatest achievement.
If you could live anywhere, where would that be? Montana (I've been there with family before) or Holland. Both are such beautiful places!
Are you afraid of any insects? Definitely not a friend of beetles!
What's your favorite T.V. show? Who Do You Think You Are? is a great show!
What type of music do you like? Whatever's playing on the radio.
What's the longest you've gone without sleep? I think 24 hours is the longest.
If you were a super hero what power would you have? I can only have one? Well, I'd probably be stuck between a few different ones, so I'll give you my top three: telekinesis, the ability to never have to sleep or eat (I would get so much more done if only I were like Edward in Twilight), and to be smartest person in the world.
What was the last book you read? Would you recommend it? "In Small Things Forgotten" by Deetz. It was definitely an interesting book and a very enjoyable read. Perfect for someone interested in archaeology.
Do you prefer tea or coffee? Coffee, without a doubt.
If possible, what period in history would you go back to? If I had the ability to travel in time, I would probably go back to visit the Regency era. I wouldn't necessarily want to live then, but it would definitely be nice to visit for awhile.
What is your favorite thing about Rock Castle? Our Staff!
Amy does truly a bit of everything on a daily-basis for our site. She came to work with the site about four years ago as the site's Administrative Assistant. She is responsible for replying to a majority of the emails and phone calls we receive, as well as assisting visitors to our property (providing information about our grounds, giving house and wedding tours during week days and assisting our site's Executive Director, Sara Beth Gideon). In addition, Amy also serves as our site's Program Director (which is her current title). For this, she develops and executes field trips, educational programs, and other community events for our site.
Note from the Staff:
Amy is really the rock of this site. Her happy, optimistic attitude makes her such a wonderful person to be around each day and it motivates us to try harder. Amy is very detail-oriented and it shows in all of the great programs and activities she works to create. She is humble and self-less in all the work she does for this site behind the scenes, and we are so incredibly lucky to have her!
Be sure to stop by and say "hello" to Amy and the other members of our Staff during the week's regularly-scheduled business hours (listed at the top-right of this page)! We'd love to tell you a little more about our beautiful site and show you what makes our site such a great place to come and enjoy!
