Dr. Cara Mia Dunaiski is an amalgam of scientific curiosity and analytical rigour that finds its artistic outlets in choral performances, dancing, and illustration. As a senior research scientist at the National Institute of Pathology, she provides the Board with a diligent and diagnostic approach to problem-solving which allows Doek to critically assess its project implementation procedures and archive its institutional knowledge.

Cara Mia finds her resonance in projects which promote increased and fair access to information and resources for literary artists in Namibia and lends her competence and professionalism to Doek as its secretary.

Cara Mia holds a BSc in biomedical science from the Polytechnic of Namibia, an MSc in biomedical science from Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences in Rheinbach, Germany, and PhD in medical microbiology from the University of Pretoria where she was a Commonwealth Scholar.
