Amy is currently doing her MPhil in Anthropocene Studies at the University of Cambridge, having recently completed her BA in Geography at Durham University (Hons). She has been engaging with issues surrounding the climate and awareness since high school, where she organised the inaugural Geography Film Festival featuring six short documentaries and investigative pieces by indie producers about issues surrounding the climate in places typically isolated from media presence. Alongside this, Amy was a Young Trustee of YPTE from 2018 to 2020 and she helped establish the essay competition '2000 Words to Change the World', which was supported by Eurostar and organised by YPTE!  At that time, Young Trustees could only serve for a maximum of two years, so Amy was obliged to stand down.

Whilst at Durham, Amy wanted to take her passion and experience in environmental leadership to a new stage, becoming the Project Leader for The Ugly Fruit Group, a student led social enterprise tackling food poverty and food waste in the North-East of England. This required her to lead a team of over 50 people in saving leftover or unwanted fruit and veg and redistributing it to foodbanks across County Durham, alongside turning anything that was left over into delicious new preserves and jams. This project helped to save nearly 3000kg of fruit and veg being wasted, which is equivalent to nearly 4000kg of CO2 emissions and 600,000l of water!  As a result of these accomplishments, The Ugly Fruit Group was recognised as the National Champion with Durham University for leading student social enterprise in May 2023 by Enactus UK, and is still running today!

Returning to her Young Trustee role after completing her undergraduate degree, Amy hopes she can bring her new experience from leading The Ugly Fruit Group, alongside her volunteering work with new and inspiring communities to help raise awareness of the YPTE to a greater audience of passionate young people and teenagers and in doing so aid the rise of a more climate conscious generation!
