Amy’s exceptional skills in copywriting, creative direction, and leadership were instrumental in this success. She leads with integrity and passion, consistently producing eloquent and vivid creative work.

‘I have worked with Amy since 2013 in various capacities – from in-house comms with Amy leading creative teams, through to story-gathering trips across Africa – and I can say, without hesitation, that Amy is one of the best communications professionals I have ever encountered. Whether it’s branding, copy, digital, fundraising or strategy, Amy always crafts stories that cut through the noise to reach the hearts of audiences.
‘Amy’s ability to see a story’s potential is invaluable on the ground in comms gathering trips. Thanks to bags of natural empathy and kindness, Amy connects very quickly to people, easily building trust and drawing the best out of people in interviews. She is a fantastic leader and partner in the field, instinctively understanding the various needs of different creatives on a team. This makes for an incredibly smooth and enjoyable working environment for everyone involved.
‘Amy’s sensitivity and empathy, combined with her focus on what works for her audience, means that she efficiently delivers on a brief without placing undue burdens on the time and resources of a community – a rare and invaluable skillset on story gathering trips. Effortlessly able to juggle serious and weighty issues with a gentle sense of fun makes Amy an absolute delight to work with and I would unquestioningly recommend her to any team or organisation.'

‘Amy is without doubt one of the best writers, thinkers and creatives I’ve worked with. She can say so much with so few words, tell a story in so many ways but I think she listens in a way that is incredibly rare. Actively open to absorb every tiny bit of detail and emotion to create an outcome that works every time. She understands the grand key structures of brand but also the soft and subtle notes that truly make a brand unique. She’s an asset to any team she’s in and brings the best out of everyone else.'
Lloyd Kinsley, former Head of Global Brand and Communications at Tearfund
‘Working with Amy is a masterclass in empathetic leadership and communications. She is truly collaborative in her approach to her work and has that rare mix of a creative and strategic vision. An expert storyteller, Amy always centres the voices of survivors. In our time working together I have learnt so much from her about writing powerful pitches and compelling funding applications. She cares deeply about the issues she works on and this comes across so clearly in everything she does. I cannot recommend working with her more highly.’
