Beyond this, she dons the roles of a journalist and a seasoned professional editor for prominent health publications. Amber's expertise is a fusion of health, travel, and the vegan way of life.

Her roots trace back to the scenic landscapes of Hawaii and Northern California, and though her journey led her to the bustling vicinity of NYC, her spirit retains the wanderlust for exploring the Earth's splendors. Whether it's the rhythmic keystrokes at her desk, culinary endeavors in her kitchen, or the serene embrace of a yoga studio, Amber's pursuits mirror her passion for life.
