If you've been to the GMC, Amy has likely helped you out or made you feel a little more welcome in the space at some point!

She's very much a staple of the GMC community and has the very full-time job of being our Head Cook... and has kindly shared her “day in the life” story at the GMC - give her a round of applause for being awesome! 🙌
