Bio
Habib Salama
I had the privilege of being supervised by Amber. Few, if any people, can match her passion and commitment to this work. I was lucky enough to have a supervisor who modeled what it's like to lean into uncertainty, and I can't think of a single moment she did not raise her hand to take on difficult tasks. She's a natural born leader and a real asset to any organization lucky enough to have her.
Mary Anderson
I have the privilege of calling Amber a colleague through several state professional organizations. I am continually impressed with her willingness to take on leadership roles and tasks. Amber is giving of her time and her expertise. In every setting, I have observed her strong attention to detail and her ability to have both a short- and long-term perspective. Amber applies her strong knowledge of the field, and in decision making always demonstrates her commitment to what is best for students and for the organization.
