Kara Hadden

Mom/Wife/Mentor

Hi! I grew up on a grain/livestock farm in rural Chapin, IL--45 miles west of Springfield. I received my Business Administration degree from Saint Louis University and my Education degree from Webster University. I enjoyed opportuntities as a Training Coordinator for Commerce Bank (3 years), as a Kindergarten teacher for 7 years, and as an Edward Jones financial assistant for 13 years and counting. I am blessed to be a wife to Phillip and a mother to John (age 5) and Marie (age 3). I am an advocate for mental/emotional healthcare, breast cancer research/support, and growing families by the miracle of adoption! My extra-curricular activities include serving as a mentor for Faith through Fire, a Bible Study leader for 1C Mom Life Group, and a board member for the Mia Ware Foundation. My hobbies include reading, walking, and planning family adventures.
