Amber James Vroom Vroom Veer Stories

Grew up in a suburb of Cleveland, OH; on the Tennis Team in high school; getting good grades was her plan to get out of Ohio

Only applied to one college in Ohio due to their great journalism program; got in on the first try

Did an internship during college at CosmoGirl! Magazine; that didn't turn into a job; decided to move to New York City anyway and try to find a job

In 2008, landed her first job at AOL and had an amazing video studio she co-hosted a celebrity news video podcast and did red carpet interviews

Great story about the Jonas brother; they are all super nice; but one brother will give you the shirt off his back and it's not Nick

Shouted out: "You should get an Oscar for the Social Network" to Justin Timberlake; he said "clearly you haven't seen the movie..." but she got an interview

Once didn't know what to ask a person on the red carpet; blurted out "Who you are wearing?" to a fashion designer; played it off by saying "only joking!" bad save

Starting writing positive affirmations on sticky notes all over her place to help her through a rough patch; started posting those on Instagram and that became a thing...many big things!
