About Me

Hi there! I’m Dacara, and I’m so glad you’re here. My journey has been anything but ordinary, and I’d love to share a bit about myself.

​

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and have over a decade of experience in counseling and community outreach. My family and friends lovingly call me a “jack of all trades” because I’ve always embraced creativity in many forms. From performing arts to baking, I’ve always loved to create and connect.

​

My love for performing started early—I’ve been on stage since the age of 5! By 16, I discovered another passion: cake decorating, which I still enjoy for my family. After earning my Bachelor’s in Psychology in New York, I pursued a doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Alliant International University, where I gained my Master’s. During this time, I counseled at-risk youth and supported patients in an inpatient unit.

​

In 2020, the pandemic prompted me to focus on what truly brings me joy—creativity! I left my doctoral program and fully embraced my passions, from face painting and performing as a party princess to acting in community theatre in San Diego.

​

Today, I’m living my most authentic life, pursuing what lights me up. Whether I’m painting, baking, singing on stage, or celebrating as Miss Tiki Oasis 2022, I’m focused on creating meaningful memories. Through my art and workshops, I hope to inspire others to “remember the good times.”

Thanks for being here—let’s create something beautiful together!
