Amy is an amazing writer. Her creativity always amazed me when updating our network about recent happenings. As well, I was able to attend a seminar that Amy taught to youth, about the intricacies of writing for the web. Her preparation and detailed orientated nature ensured the workshop was a great success. She is not only very talented in the writing and teaching realms, but also a really fun person to work with!

Amy’s sense of humor and positive attitude, along with her excellent writing and editing skills, are a winning combination. Amy is a creative oral and written communicator. Responsible for all Roots & Shoots branding and messaging, she coordinates the production of our print newsletters, eNewsletters and web content. She also provides extensive guidance to the regions, ensuring that regional staff conveys a message resonant with the organization’s vision, mission, and branding. Her leadership has been the key to a higher level of public recognition and understanding of Roots & Shoots.

Amy is an integral part of the Roots & Shoots team. In fact, I would say she was the cog that held us together while I was there. She did a phenomenal job implementing interdepartmental methods to help us all do our job more effectively. She is also an amazing writer who really captures the reader’s attention while conveying the organization’s messages. It was a true pleasure to work with Amy, and I highly recommend her for any job she seeks. She has so much to bring to the table.
