Amy is a lifelong Loudoun resident who first connected with Loudoun Wildlife more than 20 years ago by attending educational programs and monitoring bluebirds along the Crooked Run Trail.

In 2019, she became a certified stream monitor and soon took on the role of Stream Monitoring Program Coordinator. Since then, she has expanded the number of benthic macroinvertebrate monitoring sites from five to 28, launched Salt Watch in 2021 in partnership with the Izaak Walton League of America (now a year-round program at 72 sites), and established a monthly chemical monitoring program in 2023 at six sites in Leesburg through a partnership with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay’s RiverTrends program. She is also a Virginia Save Our Streams certified trainer and has trained 24 new certified stream monitors.

Under Amy’s leadership, the program received the 2023 Environmental Excellence Award from the Loudoun County Environmental Commission. She also received the 2023 Loudoun Cares Outstanding Adult Volunteer of the Year Award and the 2022 Joe Coleman Award from Loudoun Wildlife.

In 2022, Amy led a $41,000 Google-funded grant project, Securing Clean Drinking Water for Lucketts, which involved collecting and analyzing over 250 stream and wastewater effluent samples for E. coli. The data led to an EPA mandate to construct a new wastewater treatment facility near the JK Black Oak Wildlife Sanctuary. As part of the project, Loudoun Wildlife organized a community town hall on water quality for Lucketts residents. The project also provided drinking water testing for 23 families, and high-quality water filters and electronic descalers to 17 families from underserved communities—saving those households an estimated $375,000 over six years in bottled water costs.

Amy joined the Loudoun Wildlife Board of Directors in 2023 and began serving as Board President in 2024. She is committed to building a strong foundation for the organization’s future and fostering a culture of community, connection and engagement across the organization.

She is a graduate of the Virginia Master Naturalist program at Banshee Reeks and enjoys hiking, nature photography, reading mysteries and spending time with her family, friends and dog
