Amy has been executive director since July 2006. She holds a Ph.D. in Human Geography, where her focus was on strategies for community revitalization. Revitalization remains her passion. Amy loves working with residents, other partners, and staff to find creative ways to improve the community. When Amy isn’t at the office, she can be found at her 9-year-old daughter’s favorite spots including the Farmers Market. Amy thinks the best things about being in Dundalk are the realness, generosity, and can-do attitude of its people, the charm of the Historic District, and the easy public access to waterfront.
Tasha began working at DRC in July 2014. She comes to us after being a stay-at-home mom to her three young children; prior to that she served as the scheduler for two Baltimore City mayors. With us, she’s working with homeowners to improve housing stock with our home renovation programs, curb appeal upgrades and senior home repair projects. Tasha loves that she can be part of a grassroots organization that impacts lives and improves neighborhoods. With her husband and children, Tasha enjoys home ownership in new town home construction in Dundalk and loves our local spots, especially Vinny’s!
Sonya brings with her 12 years of working in financial services in banking institutions—including two years of financial counseling at Operation Hope (www.operationhope.org). She is a Frostburg alumnus and received her MBA from the University of Maryland. Sonya does this work because she likes to be able to help people take control of their finances and help them fulfill personal goals like buying a home. “Banks always provide general denial reasons, but I can take it a step further. I can provide the guidance and foundation they need to get approved in the future.” When Sonya’s not at work she enjoys spending time with friends and family, taking vacations to preferred beach destinations, and reading a good novel.
Amanda came to DRC in 2020 as part-time development manager. A licensed practical nurse of 15+ years with a master’s degree in nonprofit management, Amanda lives in Dundalk and loves the quality of life it affords her family, thanks to ample waterfront parks and affordable housing. She believes that nonprofits driven by active donors, investors, and volunteers are the strongest organizations. Amanda stays busy by not only supporting her town through DRC, but by serving other human-services nonprofits, being a parent, camping, cooking, and biking. Amanda, her husband, and their daughter live between the Inverness and West Inverness neighborhoods of Dundalk and they love supporting local restaurants including Joanna’s Café, Deli-ish, Caddy Shack Express, and Smokin’ Joes!
