Tara Kral

Hey guys I'm Tara Kral.

I was born and raised here in Kearney. I have been working at Barista's since April 2005. In January 2008, I moved to Scottsbluff to attend UNMC-College of Nursing. I work as a CNA at a nursing home while in Scottsbuff. I still manage to get back to Kearney about every month since many of my friends, family, and of course my boyfriend are here. I absolutely LOVE working with people, am outgoing, and very responsible. I love being active whether it be running, bike riding, or playing tennis. Barista's has been by far, the best job I have ever had. I am incredibly thankful for the relationships I have built with my bosses, coworkers, and of course the customers. This truly has been an amazing experience that I will never forget.
