Hi, I’m Amber — a.k.a. The Team Whisperer

Founder of Bella Vita, human‑first hiring strategist, team culture fixer, and the person business owners call when their “perfect on paper” hire turns out to be a walking dumpster fire.

I’m not here to drown you in corporate jargon or pretend that team building is just about free snacks in the breakroom.
I’m here because I know firsthand that the right hire can change everything — and the wrong one will eat your time, money, and sanity for breakfast.

For over 20 years, I’ve been building, leading, and repairing teams. Scaling businesses, fixing broken systems, and helping leaders go from “I’m losing my mind” to “I’ve actually got this.”

I’ve helped companies grow by over $1 million a year, scaled client rosters 250%, and led teams through massive change without losing the people who made it all possible.

But the truth?
I’ve also:

  • Ugly‑cried on the bathroom floor after a hire blew up in my face

  • Held crumbling teams together with pure stubbornness and caffeine

  • Walked away from roles I loved because the culture turned toxic

  • Wondered if caring about people “too much” meant I wasn’t cut out for leadership

Spoiler: It didn’t.
It meant the system was broken. And I decided to build something better.

That’s why Bella Vita exists — to bring hiring and leadership back to the human level. No AI filters that miss the magic. No “but they checked the boxes” hires that crash in six months. Just smart, values‑driven, long‑game team building that works.

So if you’re here because:

  • You are hiring your first or 30th team member, but are afraid to get it wrong

  • You’re tired of losing good people or having a toxic culture

  • You’re sick of gambling on the wrong hires

  • You want a team that actually wants to be there

Then you are in the right place.

I’ll help you hire right, keep your best people, and create a culture they’ll never want to leave — all without the corporate bro culture, the hustle‑till‑you‑drop mentality, or the fake “we’re like a family” nonsense.

Let’s build your dream team — beautifully, boldly, and on your terms.
