== Early Theorist Career ==
According to MatPat, Amy approached Theorist Media for a job in early 2018, without any prior knowledge or experience with the channels. Amy was told "Theorist was the place you went to learn (about digital video)" and once she was hired, "she devoured everything that (Theorist) threw at her". Amy recalled that her first day on the job at Theorist happened to be on a day when the team was celebrating a channel milestone, and even though she didn't know what to do on that first day, she was excited by the presence of donuts everywhere.
As Channel Manager, Amy was responsible for managing all content posted across the channels, which included creating titles, thumbnails, descriptions and SEO.Amy Roberts-LinkedIn Profile, last accessed June 9 2024. (locked to LinkedIn members) In the Game Theory 10th Anniversary BTS episode, she explained that her role included "researching which words work best for video titles", and managing all the out facing text used in the episode uploads (ie episode descriptions, staff credits and tags). Her role also involved making sure that the videos were monetized and being played without problems in the algorithm. Game Theory....What Happened to You?-Game Theory, posted Apr 24, 2021. She became so proficient at her first job as Channel Manager that she began to consult "the largest mobile game company in the world" on YouTube analytics and other skills she learned at Theorist.
=== First Appearance ===
==== Off Camera Voice ====
Amy's first off camera appearance was on April 10th, 2018 in the GT Live episode Teach Us Teen Slang!|Emoji Challenge. She is hard to hear as she was not mic'd, but she helped Matt and Steph identify Gen Z slang from the other side of the room. Notably, Amy was mentioned in the Theorist fan game "GTLive Tea Club" by April 19, 2018, despite having only appeared once off camera. MatPat claimed that Amy needed to pass the new employee hazing before introducing her to the public.GTLive: We Celebrate YOU! | MATPAT Plays Fan Games!-GTLive, streamed on April 19 2018. She'd make a few other off camera comments in various livestreams during the summer of 2018 and would occasionally contribute artwork to the #GTLive chalkboard and would assist Chris Widin with livestream duties.This Test is WATCHING Me!|The Watson Scott Test-GTLive, livestreamed on Nov 21 2018.Checkmate, Deltarune!|Clickerrune (Boss Fight Fan Game)-GT Live, Livestreamed Dec 27 2018
==== On Camera Appearance ====
Amy's first on camera appearance was in a Back to School GT Merch shoot, in August 2018. The merch shoot was featured on MatPat's social media and in the GT episode, "FNAF, This is the End (FNAF Ultimate Custom Night)"Game Theory: FNAF, This is the End (FNAF Ultimate Custom Night),time stamp: 041. First posted August 5 2018.. In the merch ad, Amy, Matt and Steph recreated the Distracted Boyfriend Meme to promote the new attire. Amy noted in a later GT Live episode that she'd only been working at Theorist for a few months before the shoot. Her next on camera appearance wouldn't occur until January 2019 when she appeared on GTLive for a belated Holiday episode, although she would participate in other GTLives as an off camera voice and as a off camera player for a multiplayer Hello Neighbor game. She bravely took over GTLive producer duties for a Deltarune fangame in late December, running the TriCaster in place of Chris, who was on vacation. The episode in question was, in MatPat's words "a hot mess" of technical problems; however Amy did an admirable job running the very old, very outdated and very temperamental streaming equipment. 
In the early 2019 GTLive episode, A Very Belated Theorist Holiday Special|White Elephant Gift Exchange Challenge! the audience got their first real Amy introduction. She participated in a Theorist modified "white elephant" game, wherein Amy, MatPat, Steph, Jason, Chris and former Theorist consultant and 'fanthropologist' member Meredith Levine played multiple mini-games on camera to compete for wrapped gifts. This was also the episode where MatPat was gifted with the framed photo of Chris Widin, which graced the set of GTLive for many years. 
=== More Early Appearances ===
Amy would make a few more early appearances on Game Theory in 2019 as the show went through an experimental phase where MatPat tried to incorporate more live action green screen elements. This format would be short-lived on Game Theory but can be viewed now as an early attempt at incorporating the live action on camera elements into the Theory shows. Amy briefly appears in a skit with Steph, Jason and Chris in the episode "Peach's Castle of Lies (Super Mario Maker 2)"Game Theory: Peach's Castle of LIES! (Super Mario Maker 2) -Game Theory, skit starts at 12:41) and in the cold opens of the GT two part episodes on NinjaGame Theory: Was Ninja Worth It? (The Ninja Mixer Deal) -Game Theory first posted August 25 2019 and 
Game Theory: The Ninja Mixer MISTAKE! (The Ninja Mixer Deal Part 2), first posted August 29 2019., playing the role of "Girl" in audience. Amy also created MatPat's wig for the Ninja episodes, putting her cosplay skills to use for the first time on the channels. In the 2024 GT Live Episode, Theory Review: What's Next for Style Theory, Amy admits she also served as Matt's makeup artist for many of the live action shots and for GTLives, as he wore concealer to "conceal the work ethic" aka the dark bags from sleep deprivation he had around this time.
==== Boneworks VR ====
In the beginning of 2020, MatPat did a play through of the VR game Boneworks. The publisher of the game, Stress Level Zero, created one of the most popular games featured on Game Theory, Duck Season, so MatPat was committed to playing its sequel to completion on GTLive. However, halfway through the very long play through, Steph had to step aside to work on their upcoming move, so Amy was called upon to co-host the last four episodes of the play through. This was the first time the audience got to see Amy and MatPat interact for a lengthy amount of time, and they discussed things like vegetarianismThe DANGER is REAL! | Boneworks VR-GT Live, first posted Feb 24, 2024. ,the positives and negatives of ImmortalityMatPat's FIGHT for Immortality!|Boneworks VR, first posted Mar 2 2024. , and the joys of growing up in Florida.Duck Season is EVERYWHERE! | Boneworks VR-GTLive, Mar 10, 2020 The complete playlist of Boneworks playlist can be found here.
==== GT"Jank"Live Editor ====
In early 2020, just prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, MatPat and Steph made the (completely unrelated) decision to move to North Carolina and consequently Chris Widin, the GTLive producer and live stream technician left Theorist MediaMissed Information & Why I Left The Game Theorists-Missed Information (Chris Widin's channel). Posted Apr. 2 2020.. As a result, Amy briefly took over editing the GT!NotLives that Matt and Steph recorded by themselves in quarantine. She would occasionally leave comments or funny edits to MatPat and Steph's gameplay, calling Matt out when he did things like move the camera and lose lens focus. The production values on this era of GTLive were so non-existent that MatPat and Steph called them "Janky" or "GTJankLive".I've Been Fooled! | There is No Game-GT Live, first posted Apr. 20 2022.A Not janky GTLive?! Impossible-Game Theorist SubReddit, first posted June 3 2020. 
The first transitional episode with Amy as editor was What Happened to Squidward?| Red Mist (Spongebob Horror Fan Game), which was posted on April 2, 2020. She was eventually replaced in this role by Mirror Matt by July 2020. 
==== GT 10th Anniversary Special ====
Amy was one of the special guests for Game Theory's 10th anniversary special, which was livestreamed on Apr 30, 2021. She only appeared on camera due to the fact that this event occurred towards the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Amy participated in the Game Theory Trivia game, created by Chris Widin and Mirror Matt, and also answered questions from the livestream chat.

=== Consultation Work ===
In addition to her work as the Channel Manager, Amy also supported Stephanie with the consulting side of Theorist Media. At one point, she traveled on her first international flight with Steph to Helsinki, Finland. She recalled that the company that hired them to consult flew them out business class, which made her feel very bougie. 
=== Food Theory Appearances ===
Amy made her Food Theory debut in one of the first five episodes that premiered on launch day of Style Theory, Tootsie Pops-How Many Licks Does it Really Take? She appeared as "Research Number 2" in an experiment that required her to repeatedly lick Tootsie Pop candies on camera, a fact she slightly regrets to this day.
