Aged just 10, Amber began practising shooting, going on to compete in small shooting competitions. Aged 12, Amber was selected to compete in England’s senior women’s team – recognised for her talent in the skeet shooting discipline. At the 2013 ISSF World Cup, Amber made history as the youngest-ever winner – aged just 15. Following her success at the competition, Amber topped the sport’s rankings, becoming the shooting top-ranked senior for Great Britain and number 5 in the World.

Making her Olympic debut back in 2016, at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, Amber was selected to compete at the postponed 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Unfortunately, Amber tested positive for COVID-19, causing her to withdraw from the competition. In 2024, she claimed her first Olympic Silver medal, impressively competing in Paris having given birth to her son three months earlier. In her final, Amber competed against Francisca Crovetto and finished in second place under controversy. In the fourth round of the competition, Amber’s shot was considered a miss, but upon the slow-motion replay of the shot, it showed that Amber hit the target. Incredibly happy with her Olympic Silver medal, Amber celebrated with her son at the medal ceremony.
