While living in Colorado, she started a new field hockey program at a local high school and coached volleyball, basketball, soccer and dance club at her own school.
In the summer of 2017 Amon traveled to Thailand to teach the youth at English camp. While in Thailand she was able to teach monks at a local temple.
