Kara Poorbaugh Email & Phone Number

As an enthusiastic career changer with a Master of Arts in Applied Developmental Psychology from George Mason University, I am passionate about education research and evaluation. Currently, I serve as a CLASS Observation Specialist at Teachstone, focusing on PreK, Toddler, and Infant programs. My work is driven by a strong commitment to fostering high-quality educational experiences for young children. With a successful track record of building a small business from scratch, I bring a unique blend of work discipline, creativity, and strong interpersonal and intercultural communication skills to both my classroom and community work. I have experience providing resources for teachers and creating and facilitating webinars, which has allowed me to share valuable insights and support educators effectively. Being a military spouse has equipped me with the ability to thrive amid change and adapt to diverse environments, which I value immensely. I have a keen interest in developmental psychology and early childhood education, and my mission is to guide, teach, and uplift the most vulnerable members of our community—our youth. I am actively seeking opportunities in education research and evaluation, child development, and professional learning.
