AMBER GARDNER Hometown: There are two places I call home. I was born in Enterprise, a small farming town in South-Eastern Alabama. However I have spent the last 11 years of my life in Oakland, California. There’s a very special vibe that resonates with me here… College: First, I went to Georgia State for Nursing. Then I moved to California where I attended Las Positas Community College and eventually transferred to UC Berkeley where I majored in Psychology. I worked in clinics for a few years to make sure medicine is what I wanted to do, and completed a post-bac career changer program at CSU East Bay. Hobbies: I love baseball and college football. With football in Alabama, you have to pick a side, and I say… ROLL TIDE! I was born a fan of the Alabama Crimson Tide, as my Mom is an alumni. I also enjoy dancing, writing, going to concerts and playing music. I played snare for the Cal Band while in college.
