About Amber

Democratic Candidate

Dekalb County Board District 3

Who am I?

What I stand for:  Family.  Science.  Logic.  Reason.  Equitable Justice.  Liberty.  Freedom.  Education.  Bodily Autonomy.

I am a lifelong resident of Sycamore.  My roots here run deep and trace back to 1883 (Earl J. London).  I feel a strong sense of loyalty and commitment to this community.

I obtained my Master’s Degree in Regulatory Affairs from Northeastern University and established a successful Staffing & Consulting Agency for the Life Science Industry in 2014.  In 2019, I lead the company to an exciting merger with a larger Regulatory and Compliance firm, and we now have multiple locations around the nation. 

I am trained, experienced, and skilled in Regulatory Compliance and Human Resources. Regulatory Compliance professionals ensure that FDA regulations are followed for the creation of life-saving drugs, biologics, and medical devices.  This work requires a deep understanding of clinical indications, legal procedures and interpretation, technical communications, and critical thinking skills.  I believe in science & the Scientific Method, Reason, and  Logic. These skills will be key assets as a County Board Member if I’m elected. 

I am also the proud mother of 5 children who are my heart and soul. I can think of no other community I would have rather raised my children in.
