What Amber Does

Amber helps clients move from financial uncertainty to clarity and confidence. Her approach is grounded in empathy and education, translating complex financial decisions into clear, values-driven next steps. She partners with clients to align their financial decisions with what truly matters.

Background

Amber holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a minor in Political Science with an emphasis in International Relations from San Diego State University, where she was an active member of Alpha Phi. After beginning her career outside the financial sector, she made a career shift in 2017 to follow a deeper calling: helping people improve their financial well-being.

After entering the industry, Amber quickly saw how outdated and transactional traditional financial services could feel—especially for women. That experience inspired her to help redefine what financial planning should look like. In 2023, she co-founded TARA Wealth with Amanda to offer clients a more modern, values-driven experience.

Why TARA Wealth

Amber co-founded TARA Wealth to create a firm where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered. She is passionate about bringing transparency, simplicity, and heart into a profession that has too often overlooked the human side of money — especially for women throughout the San Diego area.

Outside the Office

A San Diego native, Amber lives with her two fur daughters, Sookie and Penny. She enjoys discovering plant-based restaurants and recipes, exploring historic sites and cities, and staying active outdoors. Animal welfare is a cause close to her heart—she volunteers with her mother to help rescue and rehome animals across San Diego and Orange County.

What Clients Can Expect

Working with Amber and the TARA Wealth team means having a partner who listens first. Together, they take the time to understand your full financial picture — your goals, your family, and the decisions that matter most. From there, they build a plan that evolves alongside your life, paired with intentional wealth management rooted in real life. Clients leave every conversation with a clearer sense of where they stand and what comes next.
