A former high school teacher, Amber was bitten by the journalism bug in 2006 while she was living in Maui. She had several close encounters with Britney Spears and her then-husband K-Fed, broke the news that Britney was pregnant with her second son — and the rest is history.

After moving back to Chicago, Amber freelanced for weekly entertainment magazines until she left the Windy City to make a home with RadarOnline in 2009.

Among her scoops: Amber scored the only video interview inside the home where Brittany Murphy died; reported on the outrageous Mel Gibson freak outs; was the first to confirm the death of Mexican-American pop star Jenni Rivera; has exclusively broke the existence of many celebrity sex tapes; obtained exclusive audio of Paris Hilton using gay slurs; and co-produced videos of Charlie Sheen’s infamous drug test.

Amber is a frequent guest on radio stations across the country and has appeared on CNN, HLN, Lifetime, The Wendy Williams Show, Extra, Geraldo and 50 Minutes Inside.

Born and raised in the blizzarding tundra (well not really…but it’s cold!) of London, Ontario (Canada), Amber finds joy in frequently sending photos of the beach to her family and friends back home.
