Hi, I’m CARA.
I’m a Costa Mesa small-business owner, community connector, and long-time resident with three decades of experience in storytelling, civic leadership, and bringing people together.
As founder & CEO of WunderMarx and chair of the Costa Mesa Democratic Club, I specialize in shaping culture and empowering local voices through strategic communications and grassroots action.
Launching Costa Mesa Days is a chance to bring my passions together — spotlighting local stories and residents, supporting small businesses, and fostering meaningful community connections.
