Her multifaceted creative experience, coupled with an unwavering passion for the arts, has allowed her to maintain a playful and imaginative approach to her work, guided by the principles of well-crafted characters and narratives.
Throughout her career, Amber has demonstrated a remarkable ability to effortlessly transition between genres, consistently drawn to stories that possess a profound impact, cleverly disguised as entertaining tales.

A dedicated advocate for female directors, Amber prioritizes mentorship opportunities on her projects, a move born from her own experiences of facing limited opportunities within the industry. Her desire to provide a platform for her peers stems from her own realization, "I didn't see people like me directing, so I didn't know what was possible."
