In college Cara-Marie discovered her passion for people, when she met Kaiya Castillo, a vibrant and soulful teenage girl living with Cystic Fibrosis—and her mother, Kisha. After meeting Kaiya, Cara-Marie became involved with the Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) to bring awareness to the organization and help raise funds for Kaiya’s double-lung transplant. Cara-Marie’s people-centered development work is a tribute to her family’s humble beginnings and the memory of Kaiya, who dreamed of majoring in journalism in college. Each project is deeply personal and reflects Cara-Marie’s commitment to compassion, service and excellence. She considers it a gift to be entrusted by clients, and to have a team of talented individuals on board and equally committed to excellence. Cara-Marie was born in Saint Andrew, Jamaica. After a few years in New York, her parents settled the family in Florida. She is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Communication for Development at Malmö University (Sweden). She is a graduate of the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, and minor in Business. Cara-Marie works with clients around the world alongside her team at Findlay House Global, but is based in Atlanta, Georgia (USA) where she lives with her husband, son, and daughter.

Takeaway for this episode: No experience is wasted. At worst, failures are redirections, and at best they are lessons that we can build on for the next time.
