From 2010-2014, Amy built a network of over 150 local businesses through Sustain-a-Bull. She collaborated with businesses, nonprofits, and local government agencies to encourage people to shop locally in Durham, NC. For these efforts, she was recognized as one of Durham Magazine’s Remarkable Women of Durham in 2014. 

She is also passionate about sustainable food systems, having worked as a chef in her younger years. She worked with Slow Money NC, a peer-to-peer lending network that helps finance farms and food businesses, serving as their Communications Director from 2012 to 2014 and Chief Financial Officer from 2017 to 2019. She also worked with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets from 2015-2016 as an MBA Consultant during her graduate studies, conducting a strategic evaluation of the agency’s business development programs.

Following the completion of her MBA in Sustainability, Amy worked with a national team of impact investing and economic development leaders to launch the National Coalition for Community Capital (NC3). From 2017 to 2019, Amy managed start-up operations for this new nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the use of local capital to create equitable, inclusive, and resilient local economies. This included organizing the 2019 ComCap conference in Detroit, attended by 250+ local economy leaders from across the country.

While launching NC3, Amy also worked as a freelance Associate with Croatan Institute (a nonprofit impact investing think thank based in Durham, NC) and as a freelance consultant for a variety of local nonprofits and small businesses. During her time with Croatan Institute, she contributed writing and research to the 2018 US SIF Trends Report and organized the inaugural Croatan Forum, which brought together 100+ impact investing professionals to discuss financial models to support just transitions, regenerative agriculture, racial equity, and other sustainability projects.

Amy then transitioned into a role as Director of Development with the Durham Literacy Center, using her skills to advance workforce development and adult education programs in her hometown. From 2019 to 2022, she served as their primary fundraising and communications professional, raising money and awareness for their operations, programs, capital improvements, and COVID-19 emergency needs.

In her current role as Director of Development and Communications for You Can Vote, Amy serves as their primary grants and individual giving officer while also overseeing the creation of donor relations and voter education materials. She has been proud to introduce more Spanish language materials to educate NC’s growing Hispanic population on their voting rights and to work with a team dedicated to helping our state’s marginalized populations make their voices heard at the ballot box.

Amy pursued her undergraduate studies at Boston University, graduating in 2008 with a Bachelors of Music in clarinet performance and a minor in Spanish language and literature. She continues to stay involved in music and the arts through her volunteer work with local arts organizations. Since 2021, Amy and her husband have served as licensed foster parents.
