She does a wonderful job of translating financial information and supporting those that she works with.”

“I got to benefit from Amy's guidance as a NewSchools' grantee, at a time when we were spinning out of another organization. We needed to make several major decisions quickly, to establish new systems and processes, so that our program work could continue uninterrupted. Through Amy's expertise and connections, we were able to evaluate options for a range of services to establish our footing as an independent organization. Putting my trust in Amy's guidance allowed me to spend much more time focusing on growing our organization's impact in education”
