Amber moved to Ohio Township with her husband, who was a lifelong resident, in 2017. They were married in 2018 and have three dogs – Lulu, Winston, and Olive. Amber enjoys traveling, riding UTVs, camping, and spending time with her friends and family. She was born in West Virginia and raised in Ohio before moving to Pennsylvania as an adult. She attended the Community College of Allegheny County and obtained an Associate of Science in Accounting. Prior to her time in local government, Amber worked in an administrative role in the private sector.

Amber began her career as the Administrative Assistant for Ohio Township in February of 2022. Although she had no prior experience in local government, she chose to accept the position because she was a resident, and contributing to the continued success of her community was important to her. Amber wanted to be a positive influence on the decisions that directly affect residents, ensure that their voices are heard, and that their concerns are properly addressed.

Amber attended her first PAMA conference in the same year and she found it to be a wealth of knowledge for someone as inexperienced in their position as she was. Now, approaching her fourth conference, she realizes that this association is a valuable resource that directly influences her day-to-day tasks and provides her with a network of other individuals in the same types of administrative roles.
