Amber Powell, Nurse
Amber is a 2014 graduate of MTSU's School of Nursing. She began her career as a pediatric nurse in an inclusive skilled nursing and therapy center for medically fragile children. The program focused on inclusive peer-modeling for the children with special needs-just like SGS. She developed a great passion for working with children of all ages but holds a special place for preschool aged children. She also has experience in adult cardiology, medical-surgical nursing, and urgent care clinical work. Amber has been the school nurse at SGS since 2019.
Amber was born on a small cattle farm in Lynchburg, Tennessee, and fostered a deep love for animals and the outdoors at a young age. She was interested in science and medicine in middle school-but for the four legged creatures instead. She changed her course of study to nursing after one semester in college and hasn't looked back since. Amber is passionate about health and wellness through healthy eating, activity, and doing the things you love most. In her spare time, she enjoys playing outside and hiking with her son Henry and husband Jordan. She is learning more every year about gardening and spends the rest of her time there and with her small flock of backyard chickens.
