Amber hails from the Twin Cities, MN and moved to Chicago to pursue the arts. She graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a B.A. in Theater. She has worked with various theater companies around the city such as Silent Theater company and JPAC performing arts center and I.O (formally the Improv Olympic) where she graduated in 2009. When Amber is not performing theater you may catch her on stage with her improv group “Gulp” at The Playground Theater, The Underground Lounge and they also run their own showcases at Jerry’s Sandwich shop. She also performs music/sketch with her music duo “One Man Show”. Amber gains inspiration from all the artists with whom she works, in the wonderful city of Chicago, and as long as she is on stage creating art she is happy. “Thank you R.Ed.I for the opportunity to reach out to kids, spread positivity and be myself”.
