About Kara
Experience: 8 yrs
I have an undergraduate and Master's degree from Syracuse University. In the past I was a dietitian with experience working in a hospital and nursing home/senior care. I was also a pharmaceutical sales representative for over 10 years. I have extensive medical experience and knowledge, as well as hands-on personal experience (over 11 yrs) in the areas of dementia care, end-of-life (Hospice-type) care, and developmental disorders. I also specialize in healthcare advocacy. I am a loving and caring person and I enjoy helping others. I have experience volunteering as well (Meals On Wheels, Habitat For Humanity). I am also a Master Level Reiki Practitioner, I am CPR Certified, and I am a Certified End-Of-Life Doula. I am highly allergic to cats.
