Kara trusts that communities have the answers to even the most seemingly intractable problems and is an unapologetic believer in young people and the adults that uplift them. She is lucky to be called “mom” by some beautiful humans; her oldest is at UC Davis Medical School and her youngest is loving elementary school. She also really likes donuts, biking and getting people what they tell us they need to be great.

Kara serves community and SS&E as Chief People, Impact, and Belonging Officer where she supports the teams driving impact through our People and Culture, DEI and ESG commitments. She also serves as Executive Director of Spurs Give, SS&E’s official nonprofit organization.
