Amy has supervised, coached, and mentored hundreds of staff members. She uses the Scaffold –> Model –> Coach –> Fade approach to empower and guide her staff in their personal and professional growth. She has led professional development workshops and staff retreats.
Amy is a leader who excels at managing the very issues that cause gridlock and fatigue in institutions: complex projects with multiple stakeholders and varying politics. Amy supported me to grow and build partnerships and projects that connected my passions for social change with the city of Chicago. Amy is someone who I consider an advisor and incredible former employer. It was a refreshing challenge to work side-by-side with her for several years at one of the top universities in the world. 
Amy is a vibrant, enthusiastic, and always-energetic thought partner and collaborator. Working with her, I found myself challenged to think more creatively, to engage with bigger ideas, and to seek out broader conversations than I ever would have on my own, to the benefit of my own work and also our shared enterprises. I am grateful to have been able to learn with her!
