About Me

Welcome, I’m Cara. I’m a white, cis-gender female using she/her pronouns. New York-born and raised until my early 20’s, I called the Bay Area, CA home before venturing to the desert a few years ago. Currently, I am on the ancestral lands of the Tohono O'odham - Tucson, AZ.

I come to this work with a number of different lenses. With over 20 years of experience, predominantly in nonprofit organizations, my experience ranges from education to social justice and policy advocacy to mindfulness, and leadership development. I’ve held various roles from Program Assistant to Operations Manager to Organizational Consultant and many more in between. I also spent many years as a practicing Certified Massage Therapist. My curiosity about systems change and transformation is fueled by a desire to support building healthy communities.

My sweet spot is sensing what is just beneath the surface, to create the conditions for authentic and brave transformative experiences. I incorporate the tools of mindfulness, Theory U, Search Inside Yourself, tarot, animal medicine, somatics, emotional intelligence, and inquiry. From deep experience in organizations, I understand that investing in and supporting the transformation of individuals inside cubicles and on the frontlines is how we will move toward liberation together.
