Amy is a skilled evaluator with specialisation in the evaluation, implementation and scaling of evidence-informed programs for children and families.
She has extensive experience of delivering high-quality complex mixed-methods research, multi-site evaluations, policy-focused evidence syntheses and implementation guidance, working closely with funders, delivery teams and evaluation partners to close the gap between research and practice.
At CEI, Amy has developed a deep understanding of implementation science and scaling that she brings to her work across diverse sectors, including youth services, education, early childhood interventions, and therapeutic services for refugees, among others. Her experience spans feasibility studies, pilot evaluations, implementation and process evaluations (IPEs), and randomised controlled trials (RCTs), as well as a range of evidence synthesis approaches.
With a background in both academic and applied research, Amy combines methodological rigor with adaptable, relationship-centred approaches. She is particularly interested in integrating robust research methods with meaningful participatory practices, aiming to develop and implement evidence-based interventions that support society's most disadvantaged children and families.
Amy holds an MSc in Language Sciences with Neuroscience and Communication from University College London and a BSc in Psychology from the University of Bristol. She was also the recipient of a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship, during which she conducted research at a leading applied research institute in Germany, focusing on the neuropsychological benefits of speech enhancement technologies.
