A Little About Me.My name is Amber Walters, I live in Maryland with my amazing husband and three wonderful daughters. Being in Maryland, lacrosse is VERY big in our family. All three girls play both for their school and club teams. If I am not working, you can find me either cheering on or coaching our teams from the sidelines.
I come from a 15-year background in Retail Management. While running one of the largest jewelry stores in the nation, my husband and I wanted to start a family, and the retail life was just too much; so... I decided to take a left turn and go into Banking. While in my first week of training with Capital One Bank as a Relationship Banker, I was amazed by the quality of training I received by my trainer. I never before realized that my favorite part of being a manager, training, could actually be a career. It was on that day that I went up to my trainer and said, "One day, I am going to have your job." After that, while working in the bank and raising three girls under 5, I decided to go back to school for my Masters Degree in Education, specializing in Training and Performance Improvement. I recruited my onboarding trainer to be my mentor. About 18 months later, when he was promoted... and I got his job! That started me off on this amazing journey for which I have so much pride and passion. I have had the pleasure of working in multiple industries and growing to Sr. Director level where I lead my own team of Talent Development associates. |
