Amber’s Work and Education History
My Diverse Career Path
Hello again, I’m Amber and I wear multiple hats in the world of technology – a digital producer/web developer, solution designer, and web designer. My journey to this point has been diverse and exciting.
Throughout my career, I’ve been deeply immersed in web and technology. I look forward to what the future has in store for all things digital!
The Finer Details
Back in the 90s, during my formative years, I already showed a keen interest in the internet, Photoshop, and coding. When it came time to choose a major for college, I discovered a Graphic Arts program at the University of Central Missouri that focused on print production. I instantly fell in love with the program and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. I also had the opportunity to enroll in a couple of courses related to the internet!
Throughout my career, I always wanted to learn more. While working as a Print Production Specialist, I decided to revisit HTML5/CSS3 and re-learn the languages. This additional expertise didn’t go unnoticed by my employer, who entrusted me with building marketing emails. Because I love learning, I opted to get a Web Developer Certificate from Johnson County Community College (JCCC).
