I am Hamilton born and bred, educated at St Paul’s Collegiate, Waikato Polytechnic, and Massey University. My career spans two distinct sectors—beginning in the automotive industry as a technician, and more recently serving as an Operations Manager within the tertiary education sector at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.
I am deeply motivated by the transformative impact of education across all stages of life. Inspired by my parents’ lifelong service to education and health, I am committed to contributing through governance to organisations that deliver meaningful community outcomes. I am honoured to serve on the AGW Board and to support its mission and strategic direction.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy developing the gardens on our small lifestyle property west of Hamilton and spending time with my wife, Sarah, and our menagerie of small animals.

I tipu a ke au ki Naarm. He uri ahau no Airangi, Kotiana, Ingarangi, Ahitereiria hoki. Kei te noho au ki Kirikiriroa. Kō Amber Hammill ahau.
Amber has been working in and around health and communications for nearly 20 years. She migrated to Aotearoa in 2018 to pursue her PhD research with older radio listeners. Since she completed that award winning research in 2022, she has worked in community radio, community-led systems change work, and in the health service. In 2025 she also produced a podcast for RNZ about Maori Wardens.
Amber appreciates that, while not without its challenges, ageing is a privilege not everyone enjoys.
Throughout history, civilizations have been evaluated by the life expectancy of their inhabitants. We are in an incredible moment in the history of our civilization when people are reaching new ages in better health than ever before. Amber gets huge satisfaction from walking alongside those at the frontier of ageing and supporting them to thrive in it.
Outside work, Amber is a budding gardener, lapsed knitter, fair-weather cyclist and enthusiastic choir member. Amber is also on the board of MS Waikato and does her very best to wrangle an under 11s football team in the Winter months.
