Amber delivered the keynote session at our annual conference for a second year in a row. The feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive & many commented on how engaging the session was. There were multiple requests from attendees to have Amber speak again, which would make it 3 years in a row - amazing!

Amber is one of those rare people that actually lives this social movement and I don’t know about you but I like listening to people that ‘LIVE IT’ more than people who read about it.

Amber is the absolute professional you would wish an anchor/host to be. Not only is she thorough in her preparation, but she is able to take last-minute changes in stride. To the viewer you would never know that anything had not been intended such is her skill at working around issues… Her studio is beautiful & has the flexibility to change into many different styles. I can only recommend Amber as the perfect anchor/host.
