Hello, my name is Cara Franke! I am a Lexington native and a proud December 2009 graduate of the University of Kentucky. I received a Bachelor of Science in Communication and completed a Minor from the Gatton Business School. I spent three wonderful years at UK after transferring universities twice, so I understand how difficult it is to find the perfect fit for you! During my time on campus I held leadership positions with the UK 101 program, the Center for Academic and Tutorial Services, and the Discovery Seminar Program. Additionally, I got involved with Christian Student Fellowship and was a student worker at Starbucks, specializing in delicious beverages! My years at UK were filled with great experiences due to campus involvement, enriching academic curriculum, access to equine athletics, and the amazing city of Lexington!

My in-state travel territories include the following Eastern Kentucky counties: Boyd, Carter, Elliott, Floyd, Greenup, Johnson, Knott, Lawrence, Letcher, Lewis, Magoffin, Martin, Menifee, Morgan, Pike, Rowan, and Wolfe.

I strongly encourage you to come visit me and the rest of the Wildcats here in Lexington to experience UK's beautiful campus!
