Amber’s first love was a starving stray puppy she named “Lucky” who showed up on the front porch of her childhood home when she was 5. Ever since then, injured or lost animals would have a way of finding her wherever she went. What seemed like a coincidence would later become her life path. While studying law at Berkeley, Amber became an animal rights and environmental activist. She was a Board Member for the Ecology Law Quarterly and Programs Director of the Environmental Law group. These studies would later land her the role as President/CEO at the Marine Mammal Care Center where she spent four years of her career turning around this marine animal rehab organization that was on the verge of closure when she joined the Board in 2019. Amber founded the Wildlife Protection Alliance in 2021 along with several other passionate women committed to ethical wildlife conservation. She recently published a book “Coastal California, The Wild Life” with conservationist Jeff Corwin. When Amber is not trying to save the world she’s out there enjoying it - traveling, scuba diving, snowboarding, and meditating her way around the globe.
