Cara grew up in New York State but spent summers in Ocean City, where she first connected to the area through her mom’s work at 75th Street Medical. She returned to Worcester County in 2019 with her husband, who grew up in Berlin. She is the Assistant Curator, Archivist, and Researcher at the museum and serves on the boards of the Worcester County Historical Society and the Julia A. Purnell Museum. A self-described “history sleuth,” Cara is passionate about uncovering and preserving the stories that shaped Ocean City and Worcester County.
