Amber Dalton is an American computer gamer, the co-founder of PMS Clan Inc.

Dalton is from San Antonio, Texas. A pro gamer (as "Athena Twin"), in 2007 she was ranked in the top 10 players of Fight Night.[1] In 2002, with her twin sister, Amy Brady, Dalton co-founded PMS Clan Inc., one of the oldest and largest competitive gaming communities for women. It was once the largest clan for the Xbox Live platform.[2][3][4][5] In the present day, it has 57,588 unique members. Topics in the PMS Clan forum include: Tech talk, clan pages for various games, and sub-subsections for PC, PlayStation and the Xbox for discussing various games. Dalton handed over the management of PMS Clan to Regina Wu in 2013.[5][6] She has been the main face of the clan; in 2005, MTV had her demonstrate the Xbox 360 console,[7] and Next Generation Business named her one of the "Game Industry's 100 Most Influential Women" for the organization's work at dispelling stereotypes about women in gaming and creating a safe space for female gamers.[8]

Dalton left a job in finance to concentrate on pro gaming and to run PMS Clan, which she self-funded until she attracted sponsorship and incorporated.[1][2] Since 2011, she has worked at Twitch.tv, where she is director of Marketing Events.[6][9]
