Testimonials

I had the privilege of working alongside Amy during her time as Director of Government Affairs at NATA, and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most trustworthy, strategic, and collaborative leaders I’ve ever worked with. Amy is a powerhouse in the government affairs space. She's sharp, insightful, and deeply respected in her field, but what makes her stand out even more is the way she shows up as a mentor, colleague, and human. She leads with integrity and kindness, follows through on her word, and brings people together with ease and intention. Amy’s ability to navigate complex challenges while supporting and empowering those around her is a rare gift. I’m a better leader for having worked with her, and I know many others would say the same.

I had the good fortune to work with Amy for over a decade through NCPPA and the Physical Activity Alliance. She is strategic, savvy and persistent. She has a depth and breadth of knowledge about government affairs and policy making that I appreciated and learned from. She excels at translating the world of government affairs to the practitioners who are impacted by policies and regulations. She knows how to build relationships with individuals and coalitions with aligned purposes. She also brings levity and humor to the sometimes serious nature of government affairs work.

I have had the good fortune of knowing Amy for nearly 20 years. From when I first met her, it was evident that she was an incredibly strategic, conscientious, and hard-working government relations professional committed to excellence. That all has remained true and she continues to grow and develop new skills and talents. To all of her efforts, Amy brings enthusiasm, a commitment to win, and a balance of strong, substantive policy knowledge and incisive political acumen. She is a strong leader who has the rare ability to see both the big picture and sweat the details. Amy leverages both the legislative and regulatory arenas to advance her policy goals and is a very effective lobbyist and advocate. Working with Amy is collaborative and fun and I welcome any chance to be on her team or have her on mine. Having Amy on your side advancing your cause is an invaluable asset.
