Meet Kara! Originally from Maryville, Kara is the wife of Dr. Zane, and loves getting to spend time at home with their 8-month old daughter, Scarlett. She graduated from Lee University in 2019 with a degree in Special Education and spent several years working as a special education teacher in both Tennessee and Georgia. Wanting to improve education for all students, she pursued a master’s degree in Education Policy from Johns Hopkins University where she will graduate next week! Kara is excited to be a part of the Knoxville Spine and Sports team through the end of July when she will begin pursuing her PhD in Education Policy and Leadership at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
Outside of work and school, you’ll find Kara spending time with baby Scarlett, teaching dance classes, or curled up with a good book!
