About amber

Hi there! I'm Amber Cole. I'm an Oklahoma native, born and raised. I moved to western North Carolina in August of 2021 and have been exploring this beautiful state since. That's me above on the day I moved to NC. Most HR professionals would show you a head shot of themselves wearing a suit. Not me, suits aren't really my thing - this day was one of the greatest and scariest days of my life. And it's the reason Blue HR exists today. 

I have been in Human Resources for 19 years in both small and large businesses. I've worked for well established businesses, a start-up, large businesses and small. I've managed HR teams across many states with employee counts of 10 to 10,000. I have 11 years experience in managing Safety and know first hand that there is much overlap between HR & Safety. Before going into HR, I spent many years in Operations. I understand the importance of both and know that the two can successfully work together to achieve company goals. My goal is to utilize my experience in HR, Safety and Operations to enable you to successfully manage your most important asset - your employees. 

When I don't have my HR hat on, you will find me hanging out at home with my rescue dogs, in a comfy chair with my nose in a book, cheering on my Oklahoma State Cowboys, on the coast collecting seashells or outside on some adventure!
