Amy leads Common Cause Florida’s work to create open, accountable government that serves the public interest and empower all people to make their voices heard in the political process.

Amy joined Common Cause in 2022 with over two decades of nonprofit management, advocacy and coalition-building experience. She spent 20 years working in international humanitarian response and refugee protection for nongovernmental organizations including the International Rescue Committee and the Danish Refugee Council, among others.

Working primarily in South Asia and the Middle East, she managed large-scale preparedness, response and recovery programs, built interagency coalitions, and successfully advocated for the rights of people affected by crisis, conflict and displacement. Amy has been actively engaged in the democracy space in Florida since returning to the U.S. full-time in 2018. Prior to joining Common Cause, she led election protection, voting rights and civic education initiatives for the League of Women Voters.

She holds a Master of Public Administration from Columbia University and a BA in Philosophy from Bates College.
