Hi, I’m Kara and I have my Bachelor of Science in Physiology from the University of Arizona and have been working in health technology and research for the past 5 years. With a background spanning diverse scientific and medical fields – from neuroscience to women’s health – I am now pursuing my fully funded PhD in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of California Santa Barbara (my top choice!). In my free time, I love to hike with my dog, Willow, and spend time outdoors with friends and family.

I’ve always been a planner and super organized, and I love helping passionate people navigate their PhD journey and achieve their goals!

In true Aquarian fashion, I allow my constantly evolving ideas to guide me in creating my own career path. I am excited to continually learn and explore new avenues outside the box.
