What my clients say
“Amy has had a significant positive impact on communication in FCTG. She has changed the way the company communicates with its people. Her work is of a high quality and calibre and I consider Amy an expert in her field. She has supported and coached myself and other leaders in effective communication and worked with the executive team through many crisis events including COVID19. Amy has an exemplary work ethic and is reliable. She is intelligent, creative, collaborative and works well autonomously and under pressure.”

“Few people can capture a message and communicate it as well as Amy… Amy has the ability to apply creativity and her extensive experience to take things to the next level. Amy is driven to always be learning more, has proven skills, and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.”
Liz Mootoo
Learning & Development Leader
Flight Centre Travel Group
“Amy is an exceptional communications specialist that turns everything she touches into gold. She was brought in to work on a number of discreet projects for Hummingbird House, but ultimately transformed our brand, as her innate marcomms skills combined with her meticulous eye for detail brought out our full potential. Amy approaches any project with a "how can this be the best it can be?" lens, and her ideas are never constrained by a brief. She's a true collaborator and communicator, and her positive attitude and wicked sense of humour make her an asset to any team. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Amy to any employer looking to expand and grow their brand presence.”

“Amy has the unusual combination of excellent communication skills and a keen eye for designing information. Her ability to understand what will connect with an audience and then be able to create pieces that are not only visually pleasing, but effective as well, has been well recognised across Rio Tinto’s business. To top it off she is a pleasure to have in a team environment and is excellent at building positive relationships.”
