Hello, Iām Cara
How do people drive technology? How does technology influence people? How does technology transform culture? How do people react to that transformation? These are questions that have long fascinated me. Initially this fascination led me to pursue my graduate degree in Anthropology, during which I taught undergraduate courses and conducted rigorous research at a variety of institutions. Since leaving academia, I have used a wide variety of mixed method techniques to conduct research at a high growth startup, an international agency and a large enterprise company.
When not working, you can find me pursuing one of my many passions, including archaeology, arts & crafts, travel, baking and playing with my pup.
