Employee Spotlight: Amber Foster – Building Trust and Leading with Heart

At Smartlink, our team is the heart of everything we do—and this month, we’re thrilled to shine our spotlight on someone who embodies that heart every single day: Amber Foster, our incredible HR Coordinator.

Amber joined Smartlink after a fast-paced career as a 911 Police Dispatcher, where there was never a dull moment. That intensity prepared her well for the ever-evolving world of telecom, where adaptability is key and strong communication is essential.

In her current role, Amber is more than just an HR pro—she’s a trusted resource, a thoughtful teammate, and a driving force behind employee wellness and engagement. “My role has taught me how essential strong communication is, and the importance of building trust and being a reliable point of contact for employees,” she shares.

Amber’s journey at Smartlink is marked by courage and confidence. One of her proudest moments? Tackling a zoning meeting solo during her first week on the job, representing a client on behalf of our Net Development team—and securing zoning approval! Equally important to her is being part of a dedicated HR team working behind the scenes to streamline processes and strengthen the employee experience.

When asked for advice to new employees, Amber doesn’t hesitate: “Ask questions!” She explains, “Telecom is a fluid industry. You have to be able to adapt, and that starts with being okay with not knowing everything on day one.” It’s a mindset that has served her—and so many others—well in this dynamic environment.

Her personal motto? “Everything happens for a reason.” It’s a reflection of her steady optimism and the trust she puts in the journey—even the unpredictable parts.

Amber, thank you for your dedication, energy, and the way you make Smartlink a better place to work. We’re lucky to have you!
