Amber M. Tham

In 2005, Amber graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a B.A. in English and Legal Studies. Throughout her undergraduate education, Amber worked as a legal assistant for an elder abuse attorney and assisted another attorney in preparing for trial. Amber received a lot of work that most attorneys would not trust a legal assistant with, and these opportunities inspired Amber to pursue law. During this time, Amber also found inspiration in her grandmother who lived in a nursing home in Hawaii. Amber remembers visiting her, observing her unusual lack of appetite and inability to eat and staff members did the bare minimum to help her. When her grandmother passed away, Amber knew it was due to the nursing home’s neglect and failure to properly provide her grandmother assistance with eating. While she knows that she cannot help her grandmother, she wants to help other families from losing loved ones to the neglectful nature of nursing homes.

Amber attended law school at the University of California, San Francisco College of Law. While in law school, she worked for the legal researching and writing department. She also was a supervising assistant for the student resource legal research and writing. In 2009, Amber graduated Cum Laude.

Growing up in San Bernardino, Amber grew up in a largely underprivileged community. By living in this area, she learned that people from all walks of life have value despite not being wealthy. Living in a diverse community, Amber’s compassion and down-to-earth nature portray the values her community stands for.

Throughout her career, Amber is most proud of helping various people and families.  She knows that family by family, she made a difference in helping them in some way.
