“Amanda was very engaged and in tune with her community [in her role as GM of Business Onehunga], and very knowledgeable about what types of activities and strategies would work or be beneficial in strengthening the local community. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as a savvy practitioner, someone who is experienced and yet always looking to learn and grow.”

—Marty Jones, Senior Communications and Engagement , Auckland Urban Development Office, Auckland Council

“Amanda is a mover and a shaker! When she approached me about producing a hyperlocal business podcast for the Onehunga region, I was delighted at the chance to work with her, and with the end result. Besides being a natural in front of the microphone, Amanda navigated the tensions of small business leadership with insight, enthusiasm and humour. In my years of knowing Amanda she's always been a 'go getter'. She dreams big and delivers results to a high standard, all with a healthy dose of fun.”
