Ambre (she/her) has a background in culinary education, restaurant kitchen management and entrepreneurship. After time in Fredericton and Montreal, she chose to make St. Andrews home and currently manages The Spice Box on Water street. Ambre carries a passion for community and aims to offer quality wholesome foods to nourish those surrounding her. With strong family ties to the arts, Ambre is deeply invested in ensuring that Sunbury Shores will continue to offer inclusive, multigenerational activities that stimulate creativity. Joining the Sunbury Shores Arts and Nature Centre Board was an easy decision for Ambre as the organization ties together community, nature and art—while offering a regional forum for the creative interests she loves to see thrive in her town.
