Her strong research and analytical capabilities, combined with a consistent commitment to punctuality and high standards of professionalism, played a key role in the success of the project. Working with Amanda was not only effective but genuinely enjoyable."

"Amanda was one of the lecturers in our winter school on Migration & Integration at the University of Amsterdam. It was such a pleasure to have her! She was able to keep the students engaged from beginning to end, challenging them with new concepts and narratives on migration and development, and inviting them to critically assess the literature. She did so in an open, enthusiastic and intellectually generous way. I would love to have her back next year!"

Dr. Evelien van Roemburg, Academic director of the winter school Migration & Integration, GSSS, University of Amsterdam

"Amanda taught in the Executive Training on Effective Migration Governance and the Migration Summer School at the European University Institute. She drew on original data to talk about current policy challenges around free movement and bilateral mobility agreements. Participants always appreciated her sessions and I am always keen to have her back. I believe she is one of the few people who can teach these complex topics with rigor, clarity, and engagement."
