Amber Amoureux
Amber Amoureux is an audio visual production manager and theater professional based in Boise, Idaho. She currently serves as AV Manager at Boise Centre, where she leads and trains an AV team while overseeing technical production for events and programs. Her expertise spans lighting, sound, video, projectors, and signal flow systems, and she is known for creating strong team cultures built on open communication, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.
Before transitioning into AV management, Amber spent a decade in theater education, including eight years teaching technical theater at the high school level. She taught students lighting, sound, set building, makeup, costuming, and stage production, with a focus on giving them practical skills they could use immediately in the workforce or in higher education. She also developed educational programming, multimedia projects, podcasts, and film-related experiences through her work at JUMP, where she managed teams and trained others on sound, lighting, and camera equipment. Her creativity and leadership were further recognized through her creation of the Dreamweaver Film Festival, a collaborative event designed to provide hands-on filmmaking opportunities.
Amber earned her bachelor’s degree in Theatre Education from Boise State University, where she studied theater lighting, sound, and production. In addition to her professional work, she remains active in the local arts community through volunteer involvement with Boise Little Theater, Stagecoach Theater, and Mountain View High School. Driven by integrity and a passion for helping others grow, Amber continues to make an impact both behind the scenes and as a mentor to the next generation of technical theater and AV professionals.

What do you attribute your success to?
I would probably say the support of my family and just knowing that they are behind me 100%, no matter what I try. Having that family support has been key to my success and longevity in my career.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice I ever received professionally was that you can do hard things, and it's okay if you fail the first time and the second time, but eventually you'll get it. When you get it, it's great. This advice has helped me understand that failure is part of the journey to success.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would say just put yourself out there. Put yourself out there and be yourself. Don't try to be someone you're not. Being authentic goes a long way. It never works when you're not being your true self - it always comes back to bite you later on.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest challenge facing young women getting into the field of visual art, education, administration, and leadership is overcoming the stipulation that that's men's work. My particular field in AV is not women strong currently, so I want to let women know out there that it is possible to get up in these management positions, and there is room for you up here.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Professionally, open communication is very important to me, and I love people who are willing to share their knowledge. Personally, I like to have integrity. I don't want to compromise myself for a job. These values guide both my work and personal decisions.
