Amy Giaquinto
Hi,
I'm Amy Giaquinto an ACE Certified Personal Fitness Trainer, health and fitness writer and screenwriter. I've written for national magazines such as RacerX Illustrated, Family Times, and On Fitness Magazine as well as a variety of websites. My screenplays have won awards in various competitions.
And speaking of awards, I won an Editor's Choice Award here on Suite101.com for my article, Tips for Commuting by Bicycle. You can also check out my Health, Fitness and Adventure blog and my pregnancy blog, The Tender Breast.
In my spare time, and when I'm not enjoying some form of exercise, I'm helping my husband with his animation business, Just Animate Studio, where we create awesome 3-D animations for the medical, legal, commercial and film industries.
I hope you enjoy my articles.
Sincerely,
Amy
