Hi, I'm Amy Vachon. I'm one half of a couple, together with my husband, Marc, who are very passionate about bringing gender-equal parenting or egalitarian-parenting or what we call Equally Shared Parenting to all those who would be interested in it. We are the co-authors of the book, Equally Shared Parenting, Rewriting the Rules for a New Generation of Parents and for my paying job I'm actually Director of Clinical Pharmacy and a pharmacist by trade. I have a daughter age 11 and a son age 8, and in my spare time I love to play the violin. I play in a string quartet with three of my best friends for over 15 years. I also enjoy what my daughter call being a "maker" - making things you could normally buy at a grocery store like lip balm or cheese or bagels and I love going on adventures with my husband and my kids.
