Career

A public policy and communications specialist with experience of connecting, and translating between, policy and research. I develop and deliver strategies to engage with, inform and influence policy audiences, as well as connecting research more widely through digital communications and public engagement.

I have significant experience in enabling policy engagement and policy impact, networking and translating between academia and policy audiences, developing communication strategies, production of policy publications and reports, and public engagement particularly at the interface between public policy research and policy engagement.

I deliver international programmes on sustainable farming and food production; the role of soil; biodiversity and ecosystem protection; regenerative land management; geo-engineering; blue carbon and the role of our oceans and rivers; raising the profile of youth voices in the climate change debates; sustainable and automated transport; green energy.

Amy works part-time, from Monday to Wednesday.
