Amy Roberts

Senior Money Writer

As one of MSE's Money writers, Amy's main topics include student loans, credit scoring, budgeting and buy now, pay later. Having worked at MSE for over a decade, Amy has covered everything money related over the years, from mortgages and pensions, to investments and reclaiming.

Before joining MSE in 2013, Amy worked as a Senior Features Writer at Financial Adviser (a Financial Times business publication), and was also a Senior Reporter at Post, a magazine from the insurance industry, after qualifying as a journalist in 2009.

As a busy mum of three, Amy spends any spare time she has running the streets of her home town Norwich, or attending a dance class – a hobby she has continued since she was three years old.
