Cara works as a board-certified music therapist for those in hospice care for people with Alzheimer's as well as individuals living with cerebral palsy and Down Syndrome. Cara was inspired to pursue music therapy after seeing the power music had with her own grandfather, who had Alzheimer's. His memory of lyrics and song combined with her grandmother's emotion in that moment was enough to prove to her that music can truly help people. During college, Cara met a guy and by their late 20's, they were engaged. Soon after buying a home and just before the wedding, everything fell apart and they went their separate ways. However, she created a new plan for her life that was propelled by selling her home, taking her dog, Lula, on a cross-country road trip, writing songs, and finding a new sense of independence.
