Hi! I'm Amy Coleman
Housing is what I do now, but I’m working toward a future where food, housing, and community support are a right for all families.
What I do
I’m a marketing executive and human services student passionate about solving systemic challenges. As Chief Marketing Officer at Housing Us, Inc I develop and execute marketing and capital-raising strategies to fund affordable housing programs for low- to moderate-income individuals. Eventually, my role will expand to include connecting humans directly to housing solutions, ensuring that funding translates into real, tangible impact.
I grew up in a broken foster care system and have seen firsthand how much progress has been made—but I also know how much further we have to go. My long-term goal? To influence public policy and program development that fosters housing security, food access, and stronger communities for families.
What I'm looking for
I’m always open to conversations and looking for the following opportunities:
A practicum field placement for Fall 2025
I need 120 hours of supervised fieldwork for my degree, and I’d love to spend that time actually helping humans instead of just fetching coffee. I’m looking for a non-religious NGO or government agency working in housing, food security, or community support—bonus points if I can learn something useful along the way.
Volunteer experience
I want to broaden my experience and maximize my impact, so if you know of a non-religious organization that could use an extra set of hands (or brains), I’m all ears. Just don’t ask me to lead a prayer circle.
Collaborative opportunities & career growth
I’m always up for talking about housing, human services, policy work, or ways to build stronger communities. If you’re working on something that could use a strategic brain, a marketing eye, or just an extra human who cares, let’s talk.
Already CORI checked & approved
Thanks to my time as a foster parent and part-time Lyft driver (which I did mostly to stay connected socially while working full-time as a remote software engineer), I’m already background-checked and ready to go.

Future plans: Master's in Public Policy
I was two semesters shy of earning my Bachelor of Liberal Arts in Government at Harvard University before adversity put my education on pause—but only temporarily. After completing my A.S. in Human Services at QCC, I’ll return to Harvard to finish my bachelor’s degree before moving on to a Master of Public Policy, either at Harvard or a Massachusetts state university.
