ATTORNEYS
Ambur was born and raised in Glendale, Wisconsin, a small suburb of Milwaukee, on August 24th. As the youngest of three outspoken siblings, Ambur understood early on the importance of advocating for herself and what she believed in. It was not until an Elections course her sophomore year of high school, however, that she discovered she could make a meaningful career out of doing so. Upon graduating from high school, she went on to Hampton University, a private Historically Black College and University (HBCU) in southern Virginia, on an academic scholarship, determined to gain the skills necessary to be an effective legal and political advocate.
While at Hampton, Ambur's organizing skills flourished as she worked for local, state and national political campaigns. During her sophomore year, at just 19 years old, she was invited to introduce First Lady Michelle Obama during an on campus rally days before President Barack Obama's re-election in 2012. Inspired by the opportunities political engagement had offered her, yet curious about the impact she could have on a global scale, Ambur volunteered in Ghana, West Africa as an Operation Crossroads Africa ambassador the summer before her senior year. This experience sparked her desire to dedicate her legal and political career to advancing human rights in America and abroad.
Ambur attended Georgetown Law, immediately after graduating from Hampton, where her exploration of international law and politics continued. As a law student, she worked on Capitol Hill, taught human rights and criminal justice in DC public high schools, traveled to South Africa and Kenya with multiple human rights legal clinics and served as a student government representative and an Executive Board member for several on campus organizations, including the Women of Color Collective (WoCC) which she and four other students revived to become a thriving coalition of diverse women during her third and final year. Upon graduation, she accepted an offer to join the Corporate Department of Dinsmore and Shohl LLP to explore new areas of the law and refine the research and writing skills acquired during her academic career. After two years in the firm's Commercial Finance and Banking practice group, Ambur accepted an offer to join the Ohio Democratic Party as the Deputy Director of Voter Protection for the 2020 general election cycle. In the next phase of her career, she is inspired to continue marrying her passion for human rights oriented legal reform and political and legal strategy on a daily basis.
Licensed to practice law in the District of Columbia and the state of Ohio, Ambur has experience consulting in the areas of business law and political strategy nationwide. In her free time, she serves as the Chief Legal Officer for iFly Youth, a DC based 501(c)(3) organization cultivating the next generation of global women of color leaders, through international travel and community building.
