“Through TGE, I am able to scale my humanitarian efforts globally. There is so much joy and gratitude to be found in being present with someone as they receive comfort, care, and access to life-changing resources.”

Amy landed her first non-profit role over 25 years ago and she has never looked back. She learned early in her career that she had been given an opportunity and responsibility to lead a life of service. With a background in organizational leadership, operations management and fundraising Amy brings strategic insight to TGE’s Board of Directors. She currently serves as the Executive Director of the Women’s Cancer Resource Center, and previously served as the Executive Director of Summit Bank Foundation, Director of Development of Cancer Support Community San Francisco Bay Area, and the Director of Administration for Community Violence Solutions. Amy’s deep passion for social and economic justice led her to support TGE and she looks forward to seeing TGE’s impact first-hand in Kenya. When not volunteering to support her favorite organizations, Amy loves to go camping or hiking with her family, or spend time in her garden.
