Biography
Amie Myrick is a Maryland-licensed clinical professional counselor, Board-approved supervisor, and experienced leader with over 15 years of experience in project management, trauma-informed care, and research design. Her “why” is to create a compassionate world where all can feel seen.
Amie is the Director of Evaluation and Quality Improvement at the HOPE National Resource Center, where she develops and implements evaluation strategies to measure the impact of the HOPE framework at the system, provider, and family levels.
For many years, Amie has led initiatives across the country to build workforce and community capacity, improve trauma-informed approaches, and promote resilience. She has unique training in facilitation practices, implementation science, and change management and is skilled at fostering collaboration and translating research into action. In addition, Amie has co-authored over 30 peer-reviewed articles and several books on the impact of trauma-related interventions, cross-sectional approaches to adversity and resilience, and advocacy.
The HOPE framework aligns deeply with Amie’s passion for focusing on people’s strengths rather than their challenges. The profound connection between positive childhood experiences and well-being resonates deeply with her. This inspired her to become a HOPE facilitator in 2022 and later, Maryland’s first HOPE champion.
Outside of her professional life, Amie is a mom of three in a blended family, a curious traveler who enjoys exploring new places and cultures, and an avid Orioles baseball fan.
