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.

With her husband and children, Tasha enjoys home ownership in new town home construction in Dundalk and loves our local spots, especially Vinny's!
