About Kara

Growing up I have always loved being surrounded by people. Every Sunday I would stop by my great-grandparents house to spend time with them. My great-grandmother would teach me about cooking, cleaning and baking while my great-grandfather would tell me every story from his youth. For as long as I can remember, I have lived right next door to my grandparents and my uncle. My uncle has disabilities that prevent him from living alone, so I would often spend time with my dad, his caregiver, helping him and playing games with him. I enjoy learning new things, hearing stories from others, cooking and being around people. Watching my father devote his life to taking care of our family sparked this interest in me.
