About Kara - (She Walks the Walk)
Kara completed her Bachelor of Science degree at Michigan State University in Dietetics before completing a dietetic internship at Methodist Hospital of Indianapolis to become a Registered Dietitian. Kara was awarded Michigan Recognized Young Dietitian of the Year in 2000 while working at the University of Michigan Health System. Inspired by working as a member of a multi-disciplinary team at the University of Michigan Health System, Kara decided to return to school to become a Physician Assistant.
Kara graduated from the University of Toledo with a Master of Science in Biomedical Science in 2010 to become a Physician Assistant. Since then, she has enjoyed working with children in general pediatrics.
Both her personal as well as her professional experience makes her an amazing addition to our team. Kara is married and has two sons 15 and 12 years old. Her older son has autism and attends the Monarch school.
