Amber graduated from St. Louis University with bachelor’s degrees in Social Work/Psychology and is a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis with a Master's in Social Work. During her time as Senior Education Policy Intern for The Active Advocacy Coalition, she spearheaded research and analysis of Bright Flight, Missouri’s merit-based scholarship, which culminated in a policy white paper garnering regional media attention in 2016. The Coalition's work highlighted inequities in Bright Flight and included recommendations that would improve access to the scholarship for students at under-resourced public schools whose student bodies are primarily low-income and students of color.
