Cara Jacocks: Dealing with a diagnosis

About Cara

Cara is a professor in the Gupta College of Business at the University of Dallas.  She is also mom to three little boys - Everett (7 years old), Liam (5), and Alec (3).  Everett has Trisomy 21 so a lot of her free time is spent working with different advocacy groups (the DSDN, DSPNT, and their local SPED PTA) and advocating herself through her blog (mamability.com) and social media accounts.  Her husband is VP of marketing at a local nonprofit and she also spends time supporting his leadership role and the good work he is doing in the DFW community.  Their entire family attends Burleson Church of Christ, albeit virtually these days.
