Amelia Floyd: 

As a mother of 2 Lake Travis High School graduates, Amelia has held the position of Vice President for fundraising for several LTHS booster clubs where she consistently exceeded budgets.  During this time, she witnessed first-hand our youth's challenges, struggles and determination inspiring her to co-found the Erik Hanson Memorial Scholarship for one of her daughter's friends who died by suicide.  Because of the need she has seen in our community; she co-founded the Engage and Heal Foundation to erase the stigma of mental health by shattering the silence and helping to build a bridge for those who feel unheard and disconnected.  She feels that their presence and determination will help to start that conversation.  Amelia is also a certified NAMI Basics and NAMI Peer-to-Peer teacher.
