Amber grew up on a hobby farm in Quesnel, British Columbia. Riding horses, milking cows, gardening, collecting eggs, and exploring the forest were her daily activities. This simple yet active lifestyle led her to become an avid outdoors enthusiast and traveller who has adventured all over the world. She is a passionate mountain biker, kayaker, skier, gardener, and yogi. A Jill of all trades, she loves learning new things and is willing to try anything. She is passionate about animal welfare and environmental sustainability. Her most recent adventure was a road trip from Revelstoke, British Columbia to Baja, where she, mountain biked, paddled, snorkelled, and explored the peninsula.
Amber has had a long and varied career as an Advanced Care Paramedic. In the past twenty years she has worked in busy urban centres, rural emergency medical services, industrial sites, and medical clinics in Indigenous communities. This is her fourth season travelling with Adventure Canada.
Amber currently resides in Revelstoke, British Columbia. She considers herself semi-retired, though continues to accept jobs that present unique and interesting opportunities.
