Amy is excited to bring her skills and experiences to IMPACT to support the program services teams. Amy says, "My primary responsibility will be ensuring we're taking care of the people who are taking care of the people. This work is both rewarding and difficult. I look forward to making sure that our staff has the resources and support necessary to be successful."
