Amy Gregorio - Mrs Illinois International

The Best Ever You Show is proud and honored to welcome Mrs Illinois International 2013, Amy Gregorio. Before deciding to become a stay-at-home mom, Amy spent more than a decade known as “AJ Sterling.”  She has been Emmy nominated and was voted, “Best Reporter,” by the Associated Press with her reports appearing nationally on CBS, CNN, and Fox. She is a wife, mom and community leader.  Amy's and her husband, John,  have been married for almost 9-years, but it doesn't seem as if it has been that long. Of course, they have kept busy raising a family. They have a 7-year old son and 5-year old daughter. John and Amy are in for some fun and entertaining years ahead as parents. 

After reporting countless stories about violence and abuse and witnessing the long terms effects, she knew more must be done on behalf of young victims of abuse and neglect. She is now using her skills as a volunteer CASA in Lake County. For the last five years, Amy has been a child advocate through CASA Lake County.  She is a National Ambassador for CASA and part of CASA's Speaker's Bureau.
