Dr. Katherine Shachar

I am a native and resident of Newport Beach, California. I am the daughter of immigrants from eastern Europe and grew up with a family of hard-working, educated, doctors and lawyers. I have a real love for life and genuine like for other people whom I find fascinating. I find meaning and satisfaction connecting with others to improve the quality of their lives. Personal enjoyment includes health and wellness hobbies, walking in nature, arts and crafts, fashion and friends. I enjoy having a curious and inquisitive mind in pursuit of understanding others.
