Amy works as a Commissioning Manager for Autism in Adult Social Care, bringing over 15 years of experience in local authority commissioning. Her career began in children’s services, where she specialized in supporting children with disabilities and co-occurring conditions, before moving into adult social care with a focus on autism and neurodivergence. Amy is passionate about multidisciplinary approaches that foster collaboration and drive positive change, particularly for marginalised communities.

She holds a Master’s degree in Child and Educational Psychology from the University of Manchester, a Public Sector Management qualification from Warwick University, and a degree in International Politics from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. This unique combination of expertise in psychology, policy, and management underpins her strategic approach to commissioning.

Her work is driven by a commitment to reducing social and health inequalities for autistic and neurodivergent people, ensuring services are creative, person-centred, and co-designed with those who use them. Amy is dedicated to designing preventative services that respond to the voices of experts by experience, creating systems that empower individuals and promote equality across health and social care.
