Previous roles also include Senior Planner in the St. Louis County Executive’s Office of Strategy + Innovation, St. Louis County Planning, City of St. Louis Homeless Services and the Housing Authority of the City of Bridgeport, CT.Dara and her family are proud neighbors of Hyde Park. In her not-so-spare time, she enjoys reading a bazillion books, listening to a googolplex of podcasts, being a secret economist and rushing the net on tennis courts across St. Louis.
Dara earned her graduate degree in Urban Planning from Columbia University in New York and her Bachelor of Architecture from Tuskegee University in Alabama. She is a LEED Accredited Professional for Neighborhood Development.
