Hi, I’m Cara

I’ve held a lot of different jobs. At the start of my career, I was juggling three at once—working as a line cook on a Neapolitan pizza food truck, assisting in mall property management, and writing about women’s workplace experiences at InHerSight. The last one stuck.

Today, I’m still with InHerSight, where I bring my passion for gender equity to the forefront. I’ve written 300+ articles on career development, job searching, allyship, and mental health—always with the goal of empowering women to build a career and life they love.

Outside of work, I create recipes and content for Tom & Jenny’s, write about yoga and wellness for ONEYOGAHOUSE, take far too many pictures of what I’m eating, and explore different creative mediums like collaging and junk journaling.

I also write The Local Plate, a biweekly Substack newsletter filled with restaurants I’m loving, recipes worth slowing down for, seasonal dinner party menus, travel guides, and local NY roundups. If you’re into great food and creative inspiration…
