Aloha! My name is Amber and I am a proud Biology graduate from the Class of 2004. One of my lifelong goals has always been to come home and serve my community. After living on the continent for almost a decade and traveling around the world, I am happy to be back at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (UHM) as an Academic Advisor in the College of Natural Sciences.

Although I was born in New York, I have grown up in Hawaii since the age of 6 and proudly consider it to be my home. Looking back, I realize that my upbringing within the culture of Hawaii combined with my education at UH Manoa, has played an incredibly large role in the development of my appreciation for cultural diversity, nature, art, and the sciences.
