AMBER BURKHART.

Amber Burkhart has had a strong personal tie to the Harambee Centre for many years. In 2011, she spent a summer in Chwele, Kenya volunteering at the health clinic and conducting research for her undergraduate program. This transformative experience kick started Amber’s passion for improving health care systems both in the U.S. and abroad.

 Amber has over eight years of health care policy experience, and she currently works at a policy-oriented philanthropy dedicated to maximizing opportunity and minimizing injustice. Amber holds a double executive master's in health care policy from the University of Chicago and the London School of Economics. She also holds a bachelor’s degree in international political economy and minor in global health from Colorado College.

 Amber lives in Washington, D.C. with her husband. In their free time, you can find them mountain biking, backpacking, scuba diving or exploring the outdoors with their dog.
