Hi, I’m Amy and I’ve just joined the Wolfstar team as account manager. I’m originally from a small town just over the Pennines called Darwen, but have lived in Leeds for the past seven years. Technically, I’m now from Bradford, as I recently took the plunge and bought my first house there.

I love having my own place – and am proud to say I now know how to do lots of important DIY things like laying skirting board and putting up coving – however this is also where almost all of my money goes!

I studied Public Relations at Leeds Metropolitan University, during which I worked for Citypress PR in Manchester for just over a year. This is where I got my first taste of PR practice. After uni I worked for Waterside PR in Leeds, along with fellow Wolfstar employee Sam. Most recently I was working as a consumer press officer for Morrisons Supermarkets – this was very busy as you can imagine, especially during the current credit crunch crisis.

My experience is mainly consumer focused and errs more on the side of traditional PR and media relations – so I’m really looking forward to developing my social media and WOM skills here at Wolfstar. I like airing my opinions and starting a bit of a debate – so I’m sure it won’t be long until you see me with my own blog like the rest of the gang here.

I love to travel and try to get away as much as possible – I’m not fussy and am just as happy lazing by the beach as I am (attempting) to ski! Like most girls, I love shopping and fashion - but I’m fully aware that living in Bradford hardly makes me Carrie Bradshaw!

I love Leeds and try to take full advantage of everything the city has to offer – however this usually only stretches to a nice meal or one too many cocktails.
