Amelie’s public speaking and activism are built on three primary pillars:

As a Network and Engagement Lead for Young Make Votes Matter, she argues that the current "First Past the Post" system disenfranchises young people and minorities.

Her activism is deeply informed by her experience as a young mother. Having faced a life-threatening traumatic birth at age 20, she uses her platform to speak about the necessity of self-advocacy in healthcare and overcoming age-related stigma.

She is a frequent contributor to The Tab, where she writes about everything from London mayoral elections to the ethics of student societies, often focusing on how young people can "take back the power" they have been led to believe they lost.

She is currently represented by agencies like Champions Speakers and the Speakers Collective, where she is booked for keynotes on political inclusion, mental health, and diversity in education. Her talks are noted for blending "intellectual rigour" with "authentic lived experience."
