Kara Edgar
Trustee
Kara Edgar and her husband Mark are the proud parents of three very active children in the Big Sky School District. After recreating in Big Sky for over a decade, they moved to the community full time in 2020. Kara founded ESCS, a female-owned financial consulting firm, in 2018 after a 20 year career as a business development specialist within the alternatives industry. She graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College where she was a member of the Varsity Swim Team. She’s traded the pool for the slopes and hopes to encourage all to pursue a lifetime of learning both in and outside of the classroom.
