"We had the pleasure of working with Amanda on the scoping study for the European Union Global Diaspora Facility (EUDiF), where we explored strategies to engage diasporas in talent partnerships. Amanda led, managed, and coordinated a diverse team of multinational independent consultants with exceptional professionalism.

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!"
