“ I’ve had the privilege of taking several courses with Amber over the past few years, and each one has been outstanding. She’s an exceptional instructor whose courses are thoughtfully designed, engaging, and consistently push you to grow in a wide range of scenarios. Amber is genuinely down-to-earth and approachable, creating a learning environment where everyone feels supported. Her teaching style is incredibly adaptable. No matter the situation, she brings a calm, steady presence that builds confidence and trust.Amber is not only a skilled and inspiring educator—she’s the kind of paddler and instructor I strive to be.”

“Amber is an amazing athlete, phenomenal teacher and a fun human to be around. Her teaching toolkit is deep, diverse and integrates an understanding of learning theory with a knack for in-the-moment observation and assessment resulting in timely instruction/coaching at just the right dose. She never feels the need to show you either how much she knows (so much!) or how good she is (amazing). She just sees people and meets them where they are in their learning. Oh and I’ll say it again: Just so much fun!”
