As part of her role, Amy managed the TBTF Foundation, the charitable arm of the organization, in supporting Boys & Girls Clubs of Tampa Bay with computer labs, volunteer projects and scholarships for kids. Tony DiBenedetto was an original founder of TBTF and shared his great passion for helping underprivileged kids with many volunteers. 

Amy then joined Dynamic Communities in late 2011 and spent over seven years helping grow the organization through expanding its programs, strategy and events to user group members, including the Annual Summit 7,000-person conference. 

Currently in her role at Think Big, Amy is responsible for managing the organization, executing the vision and strategy to serve as many kids as possible, fundraising and building relationships with volunteers and community leaders. She also serves on the Board of Tampa Bay Tech and is co-chair of the Community Engagement Committee.
