Bio
Kirsty Nepomuceno
Amy is exceptionally thorough, and passionate about whatever task she does, even the most trivial assignments. She has the ability to motivate her colleagues, and her planning and management skills are unmatched at the Centre for the Study of Governance Innovation. She has a good relationship with all of her peers, and senior members of the team, as she puts time not only into ensuring excellent work every time, but she also goes the extra mile in showing that she cares for every employee that she has direct contact with. She has earned the respect of all the staff and visitors to GovInn, and has become the "go-to" person in our organisation due to her impeccable work ethic and positive attitude. I have worked with her for fifteen months, and I have yet to work with someone as capable and hard working as she.

Amy is a huge asset to the Centre for the Study of Governance Innovation (GovInn). Not only is she an up and coming scholar and original thinker, she is also the focal point for many of the crucial administrative functions of GovInn. Her leadership skills in this area are notable. In fact, she has a presence that exceeds her years -- and almost peerless organisational skills to boot!
