Amber Brownlee

Dedicated Gymnastics Coach with expertise in mentoring, guiding and developing athletes. Driven and high-achieving with a successful career history in gymnastics. Passionate about coaching proper form and technique to maximize performance and prevent injury.

Gymnastics is a huge part of my life that I'm immensely passionate about, in which I contribute it to many aspects of my life (e.g as a job, sport, hobby, volunteer work, etc). I started when I was around the age of 6 and still continue to train around 6 hours per week at Christchurch School of Gymnastics. Gymnastics is the main sport in which I have excelled in, allowing me to attend 3 annual national competitions in a row. Though I'm not currently training to compete, I still enjoy being able to upgrade and improve skills and constantly be in that environment. 

In addition to being a gymnast and coaching gymnastics, I also volunteer to judge elementary gymnastics competitions. This includes me having to assess each gymnasts routines and deduct any negative points from their overall score. 

I have been a volunteer at Christchurch SPCA since July 2023. I mainly volunteer to aid with their feline animals but on occasion I would help in other areas of the centre such as farm animals, storage or washing. I enjoy being able to help animals in need, to offer my assistance in looking after them, and giving them a chance at a better life.
