"Amy is an absolute delight to work with. Her dedication and hard work consistently deliver exceptional results. Amy was pivotal in securing impactful media coverage for us, including a TV interview with France24, a print story and podcast episode with Radio France Internationale (RFI), with AFP and more. Her passion for supporting impact-led organisations shines through in her work, as she goes above and beyond to ensure their mission reaches a wider audience. We were so impressed by her results and commitment that we rehired her for additional projects. I highly recommend Amy to any organisation looking for PR support from someone who truly cares and delivers."
Sofia Ollvid, communications director, SolarAid
"Amy helped Gloria Media get media coverage in the UK for the new newsletter The Evidence. We weren't expecting mainstream media coverage because The Evidence is a new project and a niche area of the media, but she landed nearly a whole page in the i paper and we rehired her to line up new collaborations." Rebecca Amsellem, publisher, Les Glorieuses
"Working with Amy was great. Her work landed us international coverage in The Washington Post, ABC news (US), France 24, Radio France International (RFI), AFP, AP, Globe and Mail, broadcaster DW in Germany, news agency Inter Press Service (IPS), national newspaper New Vision Uganda, and more. As a result we were contacted by numerous potential investors, customers and business partners who were very impressed by the reporting on Marula Proteen Uganda Limited and our different programmes."
Philipp Straub, co-founder and chief technology officer, PROTEEN.
"It was great to hear Amy's insights and advice on how to improve our practices engaging with the media. She is an engaging speaker and my team and I took a lot away from our session!"

"Amy was absolutely fantastic to work with during her time at VSO. Amy and I worked together on quite a few campaigns, and her strategic mindset allowed us to always to position our brand in ways that would generate wider interest from journalists across different, but targeted, niches relating to our work. With her strong journalistic background, a lot of bylines to her name, and a huge contact book of leading journalists and publications, it's no surprise that Amy could generate such fantastic coverage. It's also amazing to see that Amy keeps giving back, providing training to people who are interested in gaining media coverage for their brand. Anyone who works with her will be incredibly lucky and will see some great results!"
Georgie White, Digital Officer, VSO.
"I am really grateful that Amy listened and asked as many questions as she did. There has been great traction on her article on her story on the Ghetto Kids, even with our funders. Her story on whether donors should stop funding NGOs was great for our advocacy."
Christopher Muwanguzi, CEO, Child's i Foundation.
"Amy worked with me on the launch of a big piece of research for us. She has the ability to quickly understand the news value and translate this into a comprehensive media strategy and tools for global media outlets and national outlets. She provided strategic media handling advice and support to my colleagues across the organisation that has been greatly received. Thanks to her we were able to secure coverage in The Telegraph (UK), global news agency Thomson Reuters Foundation (TRF), and Radio France Internationale (RFI)."
Nina Hoeve, former communications lead, Aidsfonds.
"Amy is a fantastic journalist! I have had the pleasure of working with her on a couple of complex articles related to orphanages. She has been great at communicating with me throughout, digging deeper into the story while handling material sensitively and distilling complex info without losing any of the important facts. Raising the issue of redirecting the funding of orphanages has a real impact on the sector."
Freya Paleit, global deputy director of communications, Lumos.
"Amy was a highly impressive journalist who was always very astute in immediately identifying the underlying crux of any story. Amy's articles did a great job of raising the profile of the Uganda refugee crisis, and was a strong advocate for the plight of refugees in Uganda. Never one to pull her punches, Amy often immediately identified the questions that were at the core of the issue."
Charlie Yaxley, former Uganda media and communications officer, UNHCR.
"Amy's writing has garnered exposure for our projects in news outlets around the world, including NPR, The Guardian, AFP, and others. She was the rare journalist to really understand our work, to dig deeper to get the key quotes, and to pursue projects to publication. She has a fearless, can-do attitude. You'd be lucky to know her, and even luckier to have her write about you."
Paul Falzone, executive director at Peripheral Vision International (PVI).

"Amy worked on a press release for Macadamia Conservation Trust (MCT) for an important story which received coverage across Australia (national news wire Australian Associated Press (AAP) and other print and online media) and around the world (the Daily Mail, South African macadamia industry journal). Amy wrote the release, supplied media contacts and gave tactical advice on sending it out. The media coverage helped raise the profile of Macadamia Jansenii at a critical time for attracting support for post-bushfire recovery efforts."
Denise Bond, executive officer, MCT, Australia
"Amy is a consummate professional and as well as writing with vigour and authority, she is patient and encouraging behind the scenes. I would like to note one tricky situation where Amy went above and beyond. She accepted a story at short notice and made sense of what was required even though she had not received a developed pitch. As a person who has been in the thick of things for decades, it can be a challenge for me to tell a story that will engage a wide audience briefly, so I have been extremely grateful for Amy's support. I have had the pleasure of working with Amy in my role as a volunteer in the public image of Rotary several times now. Amy's writing and interpersonal skills are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."
Roslyn Teirney, marketing and public image specialist, Rotary International, Australia.

Amon Mukisa, head barista & assistant brand manager at Endiro Coffee Uganda, CEO at Gather Now Network head barista and assistant brand manager.
"I was struggling to get an article on menstrual hygiene published and I reached out to Amy. She whipped the article into shape, sent it out to her networks and it was syndicated by a news agency within 12 hours. Amy is such a professional. "
