About Our Facilitator

Kamber Parker

Why me? ​You’re probably wondering, “What makes her the young professional expert?” Well, because I’m living it. I’m a 26-year-old YoPro with the same challenges, successes, and fears as the 500+ YoPros I’ve interviewed.

I am empowered by building a better workplace for all young professionals, the future business leaders of our world. Businesses have an obligation to best prepare them too, which is why it is critical in this moment to bridge the gap between the two parties.

Like other YoPros out there, when I’m not working you can find me running on the Swamp Rabbit Trail in Greenville, South Carolina, at Soul Yoga, or spending time with friends and family.
