Amber, born and raised on the south side of Chicago, learned the importance of service at a young age. She initially thought she wanted to serve people by bringing their stories to life and pursued a bachelor’s degree in communication from the University of Missouri. Upon graduation, she started her career as a college adviser in Kansas City, Missouri. As an advisor, she learned her true passions were service and education. Amber received her master’s degree in Educational Administration from the University of Missouri-Kansas City and worked in higher education as an admissions counselor and academic advisor for six years.

Wanting to combine her passions for service and education, Amber pivoted to the nonprofit industry by joining Lumity. Through Lumity’s mission, Amber is excited to prepare the next generation of STEM Leaders!
