Meet Kara

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.

FAQS

What do financial consultants do?

How do I choose a financial consultant?

When choosing a financial consultant, it is important to consider their experience, qualifications, and fees. You should also make sure that you feel comfortable working with them and that they understand your financial needs and goals.

What is the difference between a financial consultant and a financial planner?

Financial consultants and financial planners are both financial professionals who can help you manage your finances. However, there is a key difference between the two. Financial consultants typically focus on providing advice on specific financial products and services, such as investments, insurance, and retirement planning. Financial planners, on the other hand, take a more holistic approach to financial planning and can help you develop a comprehensive financial plan that covers all areas of your financial life, such as budgeting, debt management, and estate planning.
