Kara is a vibrant, self-taught K-pop dancer. She is the oldest of six siblings and spent most of her teenage years shepherding her younger siblings through many adversities, including homelessness, parental neglect, and household domestic violence. She currently lives in an unrelated resource home with two of her five siblings. Despite her educational setbacks related to housing instability, she has challenged herself to complete her high school education and to start college.

Kara is an amazing K-pop dancer who's passionate about what she does. She's completely self-taught and dreams of making it big in the entertainment industry because she loves to dance and perform so much. Even though she's never been to a musical event or taken formal dance classes, Kara is set on leaving her mark in the world of K-pop. She's really excited about the idea of going to a K-pop concert, where she can finally see her favorite performers live. Besides being a fantastic dancer, Kara is also incredibly caring, always putting her loved ones first.
