SAY HELLO TO OUR BEACH BUDDIES TEAM

AMY FARHAT

President/CEO-Co-Founder

From the time I was a little girl and my grandmother would take me shopping with my aunt Beverly who was on the spectrum, I knew that I had the heart, the capacity and the curiosity to learn more and be a part of helping individuals who experience IDD live their best lives.


Fast forward to 7 years ago, that experience spending time with my aunt left a permanent imprint in my heart and led me to a career as a PSW for 6 years, a supported employment job coach for 3 years and DSP for the last year before becoming the Lincoln County Care Coordinator for DSP Connections. 


Living on the coast with my husband and 4 indoor cats affords me the blessing of experiencing the coastal life, walking on the beach regularly (it’s my happy place) is my therapy, finding treasure is always a bonus. 


My passion for gardening and growing flowers from seed just keeps blooming… I enjoy my little greenhouse, it’s my micro “she shed” 


Everyday I wake up with a renewed energy and passion to find more ways to make community inclusion and integration more accessible to EVERYONE.
