Bio
Cathy Yeates
I had the privilege to work with Amber Thomas and found her to be a very dedicated, motivated, and capable individual. We worked closely on many projects centered around logistics, manufacturing, inventory control, department budgeting and personnel for both domestic and international markets. She has a very good head for business and a driven passion to learn more and keep growing. I would absolutely recommend Amber for any position that needs thoughtful leadership with strong project-management qualities.
Russell Cowley
Amber is such a hard worker! She was always looking at issues with a unique perspective and offered wonderful feedback. She is fearless to take on a challenge and find a solution. She has a wide range of skill sets from managing projects to getting into the details. I could ask her to oversee a team or ask her to build a report, she is able to get it done! She is great to work with other markets and organizations.
