Name: Amber Pelan
What is it they say you do?
I am a Field Training Specialist for the Northern Service Area.
Who are your early influences/who inspired you most?
My mom has always inspired me. She was essentially a single parent and worked two jobs to ensure we had what we needed to achieve our goals.
What has been your greatest source of career satisfaction or proudest achievement?
Seeing families achieve long-term success and seeing that “aha” moment when they realize and know what they need to do to be successful.
What is your passion/what you are drawn to?
I genuinely want to make the world a better place. It doesn’t have to be anything big, but one little positive action a day is a great start.
Family life/hobbies:
I stay busy at home with three children (2, 5, and 8). I am an EMT/Firefighter, Teammates mentor, and I also started working on my MPA part-time. It definitely keeps me busy.

The quotation I live my life by is......Two wrongs don’t make a right.
