About me

Professional 

I'm Kara Thompson (she/her/hers) and I have called NKU my home since 2013, first as an undergraduate student in the social work program, then a master's student in the school counseling program, and now, as a professional advisor for 9+ years. I love academic advising and supporting students as they navigate their NKU journey of finding their home within an institution that has shaped and supported me throughout most of my collegiate and professional experience. 

Personal

When I am not advising at NKU, most of my time is spent coaching the Thomas More University Dance Team. I have been coaching there for 9 seasons and I have loved the opportunity to build a program from the ground up following my time on the NKU dance team as an undergraduate student. Barre3 is my favorite self-care activity along with walking my two dogs, Harper (5 year old beagle) and Henry (4 month old mini aussi).
