Amy currently serves as the current Chair of Northern Ohio REACH, where she has previously served as Secretary and as one of the Co-Chairs of the Education Committee. Amy served for two years on the Board of the Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence and is the recipient of the 2020 Sexual Assault Visionary Award from the National Sexual Violence Resource Center for exceptional dedication in service of survivors and advocacy services of human trafficking survivors in Ohio.
