About Amy
With over 20 years of experience in fundraising for social impact organizations, I've secured $100 million for nonprofits such as TalkingPoints, Raising A Reader, Genesys Works, and Family House. My expertise spans the education, workforce development, and basic needs sectors, and I am passionate about transformative philanthropy, where effective organizational strategy and trust-based giving intersect.
Throughout my career, I've held diverse roles that have equipped me with a unique blend of strategic vision, fundraising acumen, and leadership experience. Playing a role in mission advancement and witnessing the dedication of the individuals working to make the world a better place has been a true privilege.
