Amber joined the ACE Nashville
affiliate’s program in her senior
year (2002–03) at Martin Luther
King Jr. Academic Magnet School
to affirm her anticipated career
choice as an architect. One year
later, she found herself in college
studying engineering.
As is true for many students
like her, interactions with mentors
and the final project helped
her move in a direction suited
to her passion. “Initially, I was
certain that I wanted to be an
architect,” Amber says. “After
completing the ACE project
and learning about the aspects
of the architect, contractor
and engineer roles, I decided
to major in civil engineering.
I later changed my major to
mechanical engineering as I felt it
would give me the most flexibility
in job roles and industries.”
Amber utilized her ACE
scholarship to attend Vanderbilt
University, where she earned
both her bachelor’s (2007)
and master’s (2010) degrees in
mechanical engineering. She is
currently an estimator at Layton
Construction in the health care
group in Nashville.
She began mentoring with the
Nashville affiliate in 2016, working
at Ravenwood High School where
she is currently a co-team leader.
Amber says, “I returned to ACE
as a mentor because I wanted
to give back to the program that
gave so much to me. My hope
is that through my participation,
other students can be inspired
to choose the ACE career that is
right for them and go on to inspire
the next generation of students.”
