Together with her younger sister, Amy started her own charity, Kids Against Plastic, at age 12 back in 2016. Since then she have spoken in the Houses of Parliament, UN Headquarters in Geneva, at the World Retail Congress 2023, TEDx Exeter in 2018 and TEDx Geneva in 2021.

Amy is currently studying Natural Sciences BSc at the University of Nottingham. She joined Common Seas to help engage more young people with important Common Seas campaigns, and to support the Plastic Clever Schools programme to inspire and activate more kids around the UK and the world to get involved with environmental action.

Amy believes that young people can be some of the most powerful advocates for our planet, and are often our greatest beacon of hope.
