Speaker Bio
Amber Wilcox is a burn survivor, 500-hour yoga instructor, and marketing professional. After an accident in her kitchen in 2020, Amber faced burns on 20% of her body from a hot caramel spill on her hands and both lower extremities. After two skin graft surgeries from Orlando Regional Burn Center, Amber experienced hypertrophic scarring and underwent 7 laser burn surgeries from Tampa General Hospital. Amber made the decision to put a pause on her laser surgeries after falling ill with sepsis shortly after her last laser surgery in 2022. She is currently a Marketing Strategist for SmartBug Media and enjoys helping a wide range of industry clients with their marketing needs. When not marketing, Amber enjoys volunteering for the Phoenix Society as a Peer Supporter, teaching yoga for Kula for Karma, supporting youth in Florida detention centers, or providing free yoga for peers on her website, yogaamber.com. Amber met Tyler in 2013—bonding over their loves of the ocean, Disney, and travel. Amber and Tyler married in 2017 and settled in their home in Ormond Beach, Florida, where they both work from home, living with their two dachshunds, Nala and Dude. Tyler is currently a Sr. Data Migration Specialist and has worked in Information Technology for the healthcare industry for over ten years. When not working, the Wilcoxes enjoy spending time together traveling, relaxing by the ocean, or attending concerts. Tyler and Amber are excited to share their experience overcoming a traumatic burn injury as a couple, and how overcoming obstacles has strengthened their relationship as a couple. Their secret to a successful marriage? Communication and Honesty.
