Kara Nunnally

Chapel Hill, NC

Kara is a native of Virginia but spent the majority of her summers growing up on the coast of North Carolina. While earning her Bachelor of Arts in History at James Madison University, Kara served as both a Coastal Education intern and Nautical Archaeology intern with the NC Maritime Museum in Beaufort. During that time, she developed lasting relationships and made impactful discoveries about coastal management. It is because of these experiences combined with her love of the sea that she strives to be a positive force for change with the Plastic Ocean Project.

Kara is currently earning her Master of Business Administration from Elon University while working in fundraising and development at the institution. She resides in Chapel Hill and visits the Crystal Coast as often as possible.
