Amy Cuzzola-Kern, PhD

As Special Project Manager for ECRDA, Amy’s passion for bringing awareness to social and environmental justice issues that impact the community can be seen in her work as she dedicates herself to promoting equitable economic development.

Amy loves to travel, but she also loves Erie and will say it stacks up against any city anywhere. When it comes to recommendations for fun things to do around town, Amy is the ultimate resource. From cultural events to regional festivals, she has an extensive knowledge of it all.

Amy holds a MPIA in public administration from the University of Pittsburgh, a MSW from Columbia University and a PhD in Social Welfare from the Mandel School of Applied Sciences at Case Western University, where she was a Gund Foundation Dissertation Fellow.
