Why School Board?
As a mother, business owner, and active volunteer in the community, I know I can offer a helpful point of view on the CASD School Board. I have two kids—one is in the district now, and the other will start kindergarten in the fall. The choices the school board makes affect my kids, our family, and almost 10,000 students and their families in the district.
I want to make a positive difference and help make sure all students in the district get the education they need to reach their full potential. Because kids are our future.
I strongly believe in public education. While there are many great things about our school district, there are also areas where we can improve. Instead of just watching from the outside, I want to use my skills and passion to help make things better.
I promise to focus on students, not politics. I have signed up to be on both the Republican and Democrat ballots for the Primary on Tuesday, May 20. I believe that education should not be about political parties. Every decision should be made with the best interest of the students in mind. I will bring this belief with me as a school board member.
As your school board representative, I will help make sure the district is running smoothly and that we are supporting our students, families, teachers, and staff. I fully support the school district's mission, vision, beliefs, and values. As a school board member, I will make sure every decision matches these values and works toward these goals:
-
Strive to improve academic achievement and social growth while instilling a desire for life-long learning
-
Allocate the needed resources to recruit and retain highly effective staff
-
Communicate openly and respectfully with all stakeholders
-
Provide a safe and welcoming learning environment by enhancing physical facilities.

About Amy
I am a proud mom of two boys, one in second grade and one about to start kindergarten. My husband, Dustin, and I have been married since 2016. We became part of the community when I moved to south central PA in 2014 for a job in Chambersburg (and for love!).
For the past 10 years, I have been involved in the community by working and volunteering for local nonprofits. I chose a career in the nonprofit world because I care about making a positive difference and helping meet the biggest needs in our community.
Working 9 to 5
I run my own business, AW Designs, LLC, where I help nonprofits and small businesses with graphic design, marketing, and development services. Thankfully, this gives me a flexible schedule. This is one reason I want to run for school board because many families with kids don't have that kind of flexibility. I believe parents should have a voice and be represented on the board. My husband works in a fulfillment warehouse, and his schedule lets him be home on Tuesday evenings so I can go to the school board meetings.
Before running my business full-time, I worked as the Community Impact Director for the United Way of Franklin County. I also worked for organizations including the Greater Chambersburg Chamber of Commerce, Arlington Chamber of Commerce, and U.S. Green Building Council. You can view my full resume on LinkedIn.
An Investment in Knowledge Pays the Best Interest
One of my goals is to keep learning throughout my life, both informally and formally. I earned my bachelor's degree in Communications from Hope College in Holland, Michigan, with minors in English and Studio Art. After moving to Pennsylvania, I got my master's degree in Organizational Development & Leadership with a focus on Communications from Shippensburg University. I also completed the Leadership Franklin County program as part of the class of 2015.
What You Give, You Get
I currently serve on the board of directors for the Cumberland Valley School of Music and the Franklin County Coalition for Progress (which hosts the annual MLK Day of Service). I'm also part of Franklin Votes, a nonpartisan group that encourages people to get involved in voting and civic activities in Franklin County. I love volunteering for community events and donating to support programs that help families thrive.
In the past, I’ve served on boards and committees including the Franklin County Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee, Healthy Franklin County, Hope from the Start (focused on early childhood education), Franklin County Area Development Corp., and the Franklin County Visitors Bureau
In 2020, I was honored by Hope College with the 10 Under 10 Alumni Award, which recognizes young leaders who:
-
Make significant contributions by living out their calling
-
Engage in the local or global community
-
Serve as an outstanding role model showcasing the attributes of a graduate anchored in Hope
In 2022, I was named the Ally of the Year by Pride Franklin County.
Just For Fun
In my free time (when I have any) I enjoy spending time with friends and family, playing board games, reading books (or listen to audiobooks), and playing handbells in the choir at Central Presbyterian Church. I love a good latte, cuddling with our two pet cats, Cat Cat and Rex, and watching the beautiful sunsets over Lake Michigan on our summer vacations to Crystal Lake. Want to know more about me?
