Professional Bio
Amy Kraft is an award-winning journalist covering health, science, and business. Her work has appeared in Crain's Chicago Business, Everyday Health, Discover, CBS News, New Scientist, and Inspire The Mind, among others. She specializes in brain health and the business of healthcare, and writes science books for kids through Klutz, an imprint of Scholastic.
When she's not filing stories, Amy works as an improviser and puppeteer, which is excellent training for interviewing reluctant sources and getting out of your comfort zone on assignments--crouching in the catacombs of Paris for 6 hours, say.
She is based in Chicago, where she tells unique and quirky stories — on stage and on the page.
