Q&A with Helena Young Professionals Member: Cara Heath

What do you do for work and what do you do in your free time?

I am a school psychologist at two elementary schools. I recently started a side gig of being an independent representative for Zyia athletic wear. In my free time I enjoy walking my dog, hiking, and watching movies. 

How did you land in Helena? 

I got a job here after grad school in Missoula

What do you like most about Helena so far?

I love the area. There are hiking trails in every direction and a lot that are close to town. 

What do you recommend someone new to town try out? Somewhere fun to visit and somewhere fun to get a bite to eat or a drink?

I would recommend hiking Mt. Helena, getting a tasty ice cream cone from the Big Dipper, and grabbing a drink at Lewis & Clark Brewery. 

What is the best piece of advice that you ever received – career-related or otherwise? 

No matter what the day was like, end it by stating 3 good things that happened. 

When do you feel the most yourself?

I feel the most like myself when I am outdoors and when I am with my family. 

Where is the last place you explored and where do you want to explore next?

Trout Creek Canyon was the last place I explored. I want to go to Hanging Valley Trail this summer. 

What do you like most about Helena Young Professionals? 

I enjoy all the hikes and outdoor activities that HYP has hosted. 

Tell us something about yourself that we didn’t ask:

Let's see... I have a dog named Dakota and a cat named Prozac. They pretty much run the show.
