“She has been a fantastic collaborator on a number of health and equity-focused parks plans we worked on together in Texas. She is incredibly organized, an inspiring leader of multi-disciplinary teams, and a systems thinker. Her facilitation skills are fantastic and she always finds a way to really connect with whoever she is talking with whether they are part of a client team, a key stakeholder group, or a member of the community. Amy’s ability to weave together thinking about environmental systems, public health, equity and justice, climate, etc. to best understand how to create more resilient communities and ecosystems is novel and makes her an excellent candidate for leading environmental, conservation, parks, and other work toward a more equitable future.”
— Katie Coyne, City of Austin Environmental Officer and Assistant Director of the Watershed Protection Department
