children, 3 cats
Life BEFORE
Warth Insurance: I have spent the last 18
years working at the Burlington Area YMCA, teaching group fitness
classes and running the competitive gymnastics and cheerleading
department/program.
Why Warth
Insurance:
After 18 years of gym life - working nights and
weekends - it was time to focus on family and their events. After all,
my children will only be young once! I don't want to miss family
dinners and sporting events.

Interests and Hobbies: I am the head
cheerleading coach at Southeastern Community College. I also teach
group fitness classes at the YMCA.
A Q&A
Session with Kara
1. Who is your
hero and why?
My hero(s) consist of those who
protect and serve or have served our country daily. I have the utmost
gratitude for people who continually put themselves in harms way to
protect my family.
2. What one
event in your childhood had the greatest effect on your life?
Moving. However, this was
more than just one event when you living life as a government family.
Moving as a child teaches you to become adaptable to your surroundings
and to be open minded to all those you meet along the way.
3. If you were
not doing what you do today, what other job would you have?
If money was no object, I would
coach gymnastics during day time for a few hours while kids were in
school.
4. What do you
like about your best friend?
She tells me like it is
regardless if I want to hear it. If there is something green in my
teeth or if what I’m wearing is just not right, I will know about it.
She may not agree with all my decisions, but at the end of the day
supports whatever route, path I chose to take.
5. What
“lesson from you mom” do you still live by today?
Healthy style for sure must be at
the top. I grew up knowing how to read food labels at a very young age
– knowing calories, complex carbohydrates, percentage of sodium one
should take in, and grams for sugar in every day foods (needless to
say, I did not get to explore Fruity Pebbles until much later than
life!).
6. What’s the
one thing you want to accomplish before you die?
Skydive!!! I'd love to jump out
of a plane - although I may need a subtle push.
7. If you
could spend a week anywhere in the world, where would it be?
A week touring the castles of
Ireland would be a dream come true.
8. What’s the
most unusual thing in your desk drawer?
Plain rice cakes. Exciting, I
know.
9. Do you have
a pet?
I have three cats. Target - Who was brought home as a runt and then
exploded in size immediately; Molly – My pound cat who only has only 1
claw (we thought of naming her “Hook”), overweight and has patches of
hair missing from obsessively cleaning; Steve – a one-year old kitten
who was brought in from the streets.
10. What’s the
most unusual place you have visited?
Because I moved around quite a
bit, I had the opportunity to live in Anchorage, Alaska for
approximately three years. Nothing like seeing a moose (or several) on
the roads trying to get to school! Cities nearby would hold festivals
that centered around “Moose Nuggets”. I’m still trying to wrap my head
around that one!
11. What 5
songs best describe you or the soundtrack to your life?
- Vanilla Ice – Ice Ice
Baby
- Stronger – Kelly
Clarkson
- So What – Pink
- Queen – Right Now
- Working 9-5 – Dolly
Parton
