I’ve had the pleasure to get to know Amber over the last few years and seen up close her commitment to the nonprofit and business community through her work leading FounderFuego. She is the true definition of a community advocate that strives to make genuine connections that foster an environment of inclusion. It is easy to say that you show up for the community and want everyone to win, however, it is much harder to actually do it and Amber shows up by providing guidance, encouragement, and support. This isn’t easy work, and she does it with a smile and genuine kindness that speaks to her desire to make San Diego a better place for us all. Without a doubt she is one of the most collaborative, innovative, and dedicated individuals I have met and her passion for progress is at the forefront of all that she does. Through her work she has created connections that span across countries and languages that serve as a bridge to share innovative ways to build stronger and more resilient communities. I’m glad that she is a part of our San Diego Ecosystem as we are lucky to have her here championing change and pushing all of us to step our game up and create more opportunities for overlooked communities.

Whether your small business is still an idea or you are up and running, Amber is an amazing resource for small business owners. I was fortunate enough to connect with Amber a few months before my journey and once I announced my small business, she quickly became one of my biggest supporters. She also served as a fantastic resource for business development and shared an opportunity with me that was not on my radar, that resulted in a significant contract. I will forever be thankful to Amber for her support!

I found out about this Latinas in Tech San Diego event because of your FounderFuel newsletter. I also LOVE the grants and information!

I've been reading FounderFuel and loving it!

Amber is an effective economic development "chingona". She is extremely enthusiastic of supporting a wide variety of small business owners and connecting them to her network of resources. Amber is super responsive to stakeholder requests and is an active participant in any and all engagements that uplift the community!

Not every day, you come across a whirlwind of energy and brilliance like Amber Tarrac. If I were to describe her in one word, it would be "dynamo" – and not just because she could power a small city with her enthusiasm alone! A few years back, an opportunity to meet Amber at a networking event presented itself. From the moment our paths crossed, her genuine enthusiasm for her craft was immediately evident. I swear, if the world ever faces a shortage of resources, we need to drop Amber in the middle of it and watch her work wonders! Amber's journey is a testament to the fact that success is born out of hard work, passion, and a refusal to give up. Her determination to overcome obstacles is awe-inspiring, and her attitude reminds us that life is too short to take ourselves too seriously. She indeed advocates for the "work hard, laugh harder" philosophy. Amber, keep shining bright and spreading your unique brand of magic. The world needs more of your spirit, and I'm confident you're destined for greatness in whatever you choose to conquer next. Cheers to you, Amber! Warmly, Miguel
