"I can honestly say, I believe Ms. Snyder is one of the top speakers for a high school audience. She is an engaging speaker who draws the attention of the audience almost immediately and holds it for the entire 45 minute presentation. High school students don’t always make an easy audience, However, as  I watched our students they were focused on her message.  Several of our students have challenges with which they are struggling and our students were able to relate to her and the challenges she has faced and continues to face in her own life."

Delta High School, Delta, UT

"Amberley is poised, professional, positive, and effective. Our group of two hundred was completely captivated by her sincerity and passion. Her presentation was instantly powerful: she left an impact for good on all of us who had the privilege to spend the afternoon with her. Near the end of our multi-day event, many of the youth recalled Amberley as their favorite part of the week. Her ability to relate with various age groups and interests was most impressive. Thank you, Amberley for your courage in sharing your inner strength. In doing so, you allow and encourage others to reach for similar strength within themselves."

"I’ve known Amberley since our days in high school rodeo. Even then, she was a girl who drew others to her because of her spirit, positive attitude, and strength. Those things have only been magnified as she has taken on life’s challenges and overcame them. She is a role model to all those around her and the true persona of what it means to be cowgirl tough. Her story is one that can reach and inspire all who hear it!"

She is an inspiration."
