Founder, Wolff Technologies
Educator. Strategist. Advocate.
Dr. Amber N. Yoo is a San Diego–based generative AI consultant, educator, and leader. With deep experience in both classroom and organizational settings, she empowers teams to adopt genAI ethically and effectively. With a doctorate in business from the University of Florida, Dr. Yoo brings together academic rigor, business expertise, and a deep commitment to making generative AI understandable and useful—for everyone.
A voice for clarity, ethics, and action.
As faculty at the College of Business Administration at California State University, San Marcos, Dr. Yoo serves as Chair of the GenAI Task Force. In this capacity, she leads faculty adoption efforts, collaborates with CSTEM, IT, and instructional design departments, and delivers practical, hands-on workshops for both faculty and students. Dr. Yoo has also outlined plans for a stackable, transcript-visible certificate program in Generative AI, designed for undergraduates across business disciplines.
Dr. Yoo has also designed and has taught Introduction to Generative AI at Vanguard University for two consecutive semesters, with a third scheduled for Fall 2025. The course equips undergraduates from across majors—many with no technical background—with foundational knowledge of how generative AI works, ethical considerations, and hands-on experience using genAI tools. Emphasis is placed on prompt engineering, real-world applications, and the critical thinking needed to navigate an AI-enabled future.
A trusted speaker and facilitator.
Dr. Yoo regularly speaks to academic, business, and public audiences on the evolving role of generative AI in work and education.
Recent engagements include:
Keynote Speaker, AMA Regional Conference, University of Florida
Panelist, AI² Summit, University of Florida – “AI for Everyone: From Learning to Leading”
Upcoming Faculty Development Leader, Fall 2025, University of Florida
Topics frequently include ethical AI adoption, prompt engineering, curriculum innovation, and the future of learning in the AI era.
Practical. Human-centered. Forward-thinking.
Dr. Yoo is also the co-founder of SKY Facial Plastic Surgery, a medical aesthetics practice in San Diego, and serves on the board of several nonprofit organizations. Whether consulting for a business or building a genAI course from scratch, her approach is consistent: retain human authenticity, empower users to co-create with genAI, and keep the human in the loop.
