Meet Amara

Artist | Funny | Fashionable

Hello. My name is Amara.

I am 26 years old and I live in my own townhouse, about five minutes away from my family home in Northbrook. I have one roommate, Kelly, whom I have known my entire life. 

I am a non-speaker but am told I am a good communicator.

I have worked at Humenik Dentistry in Northbrook for six years. I make the bags hygienists give patients after their visits. All of the staff support me and have always made me feel like I am a part of the team.

I take cooking and art classes during the week. I go out to community events, dinners, and bowling with my friends from TotalLink to Community.

Stephanie helps me cook healthy meals and organize my calendar for the week. Getting support with creating and keeping my schedule is a big help to me.

I absolutely love the movie Mamma Mia and know the words to every song in the movie. 

I also love to make jewelry which I sell through www.ijustam.shop. I get financial support from the Home-Based waiver program and SSDI.
