DC, Kara briefly lived and SCUBA-ed in Akumal, Mexico to continue
her undergraduate research in coral reef health and diseases. Hurricane
season blew her back to the States, and began working as a Coastal

MD. Inspired to continue her education, Kara made the long trek
across the county to UC Santa Barbara to begin her Master’s
