Before stepping into news, Amber started her broadcast career in radio interning for WVEE/V-103 in Atlanta, Georgia for the Ryan Cameron Show with Elle Duncan. After exploring radio, she decided to delve into local news at 11 Alive News in Atlanta, Georgia as a news intern. She instantly fell in love and decided local news was where she needed to be.

Amber is a very friendly person always looking to meet new people. So if you see her out and about in your area, feel free to stop her and say hello. She would love to hear from you!
