Meet Cara Stanislaw, Account Manager here at ParentSquare!
What teacher impacted you the most?
As a freshman in college I was still undecided on my major. I took an Intro to Philosophy class and the professor really inspired me and sparked this love of learning and critical thinking in me. I ended up majoring and getting my degree in Philosophy.
Do you have any pets?
I have 5 pets. Two rescue dogs from Spain, Maya and Ronni. I also have three rescue cats, Lizzie, Dylan, and Black Jack. Dylan is named after one of my favorite artists, Bob Dylan.
What is your favorite holiday?
I really love Christmas. I love driving around and looking at Christmas lights and there’s nothing better than waking up and everything outside is covered in a blanket of snow. It’s pretty magical.
If you could have dinner with anyone (dead or alive) who would it be?
Brandi Carlile. I absolutely love her music and her voice. She’s such a strong woman figure and I really admire her.
What are some small things that make your day better?
First thing in the morning I get up and go into my daughter’s room. That always brightens my day. She’s always so cheerful and ready to take on the day. I love that about her.
If you could be one fictional character, who would you be?
Rory Gilmore. I am a huge fan of Gilmore Girls. I share Rory’s passion for school and traveling and she seems like she has a pretty great life.
What is the nerdiest thing you do in your free time?
I make my own dog food. I’m really big into the fresh food movement so my dogs eat either a raw diet or a cooked diet made from fresh, whole food ingredients.
What do you like most about working for ParentSquare?
I have a passion for academics and I really enjoy working directly with users to help them out in any way I can. Since starting at ParentSquare, I’ve gained a whole new appreciation for the work that admins and teachers do on a day to day basis and I love connecting with them and (hopefully!) making that work a little bit easier for them.
Cara has been at ParentSquare since March 25th, 2019.
