Cara Zavaleta

A native of Toledo, Cara is anything but a nice, quiet girl from Ohio. Bursting to let the wild and crazy New Yorker buried in her soul break free, she is currently a junior at Bowling Green University, pursuing a career in fashion design and hoping to showcase her trendy sense of style. Although she admits to being overprotected by her father--due in part to their Hispanic heritage--she recognizes the love her family provides and has been able to keep a sense of humor about her father's strict nature. It is no doubt that the unconditional support of those around her has made Cara the independent individual she is today, and strives to be in the future
