“Amelia is the very best kind of EP/Senior Producer. She has outstanding editorial instincts, producing ability, facilitation and people skills that you could ask for. Her creative instincts, technical knowledge, craft skills, sense of humour and genuine care for the people and programs that she works on make her an incredible team leader. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for any role in media and would work with her again in a heartbeat. She is truly one of a kind!”
“Amelia joined the IPWS board in January 2016, and from the get go made a lasting impression at our events & with our community. She took on projects quickly, working well within the Board, and stepped into a public role for the organization, hosting & interviewing panel discussion style events, and MC at our annual flagship event, the “IPWS Leadership Summit”, two years in a row. Throughout her time on the IPWS Board, Amelia developed a modern approach to our communications and grew our digital community to close to three times its size in a short space of time. She is great to work with, being approachable, friendly but rigorous and quality driven at the same time.”
