Ama has a law degree, a masters in finance & management, is a qualified personal trainer and a qualified mediator. She currently sits on several boards and is involved in numerous charities as an ambassador. What attracted Ama to the More than Medals Programme? The More than Medals programme was of interest as despite having planned and worked out options for a career post sport, actually getting close to that stage proved that the reality is a lot different and more difficult. The programme offers the opportunity to work with like minded people, gain qualifications and also confidence. Giving Back Ama was instrumental in the development of the Netball Players Association and continues to provide motivational and mentoring services to numerous corporate organisations, sports teams and individuals. Ama is passionate about youth development, female equality, black representation and empowerment and promoting positive body image. Her vision is to see improved health and wellbeing through greater activity and sports participation.
