        Amanda was key to developing a unified Marketing/Communications Department at DEGC. She was invaluable setting up systems and process for Communications, and later developing and executing strategy. Amanda was a fearless colleague -- pitching stories, working with staff and City, and taking lead on all things Mar/Com. She is sorely missed -- her dedication and commitment are unfortunately rare. As a professional, but even more as a person, she is unparalleled.  James Canning
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        Amanda was a team member you could count on to get the job done. She was eager to learn something new and always willing to accept a new responsibility. During my time working with Amanda, I witnessed her evolution into a confident account lead.  She is a good listener that is able to assess the needs of a client, devise a strategy and see the project through execution to achieve results.
