Prior to that, she spent 12 years in higher education both as a college professor and in recruitment. She has worked in leadership for the last 24 years and enjoys working to develop teams, build programs, and serve communities to help people thrive.

She changed course, falling in love with learning and earned a Masters in Education with an emphasis in Curriculum and Instruction and an additional Graduate Certification in Human Resources Management before taking the plunge and earning her doctorate in the Philosophy of Higher Education Administration. She worked full-time while earning her education, and took on additional endeavors in consulting and nonprofit leadership, working with children with disabilities.

While not diving into education and work, Amara enjoys her 3 dogs, cooking, binge watching television shows, and hanging out with her friends and family.
