Amy Ford has been part of the TomTod team since 2021. Starting as Logistics Juggler (yes, that’s as fun as it sounds), she seamlessly managed projects and administrative operations with flair. But her knack for storytelling, passion for people, and previous professional experience naturally led her to step into her current role as Story Curator in 2025.

Before joining TomTod, Amy discovered her passion and skill for communications and community building as Communications Director for the North Canton YMCA. It’s no surprise she’s at home sharing stories that matter and connecting people to meaningful ideas.

Now, Amy brings TomTod’s mission to life, overseeing all things marketing and communications. Whether it’s crafting copy to spotlight the incredible ideas of middle schoolers or building pages and designing graphics on our website, Amy’s bright energy and attention to detail shine through.

​When she’s not busy amplifying middle school magic, she loves to host craft nights at her home, go rock climbing at Rockmill, read fantasy books, and play fetch with Bowser, her German Shepherd. You can usually find her knitting a sweater or embroidering something floral while watching Gilmore Girls for the millionth time. She always has at least one book either in her purse or in her car, because, like Rory Gilmore, she never wants to be without something to read.
