Amber Sigman is a national and regional award winning visual storyteller with over 16 years experience covering stories with a compassionate lens and appreciation for culture; from a Florida woman visiting her native Cuba, to Wyoming’s cowboy culture, sacred spots in Thailand, Tanzania's wildlife, and underwater adventures in Southeast Asia.
