Bio: Before Cornell, Amber had never heard of the term taiko. The closest thing to taiko that she was aware of was this drum thing from the Chinese version of a TV Series called Keep Running. The first time she heard about this Yamatai club was during orientation week. A person from the same orientation group mentioned wanting to join Yamatai. Amber was mildly interested, but didn't think too much of it.

Fast forward to clubfest week, Amber stared at a Yamatai quarter card that her roommate grabbed, and thought why not shoot her shot and see what happens. After the first round, she found out how fun and exhilarating taiko was, and decided maybe this was something she wanted to do, if all went well. And thus, she ended up here and she looks forward to fun times with the Yamatai family!
