Amy's passion to support communities to develop and thrive began in 2011 when she became the chair of Shawlands Business Association and helped create a strong foundation for the eventual formation of the Shawlands Business Improvement District.
Driven by her own lived experience of teenage homelessness and isolation Amy went on to establish the Glasgow Girls Club based on sister organisation, the Lower Eastside Girls Club when she was introduced while living in NYC in 2013.
With 6 years recent tech industry experience under her belt Amy is now committed to combining her experiences, passion and skills to unlock maximum opportunity for young women who are most at risk and marginalised in our communities.
