Thought immediately about posting a rant on the obsessive use of "they/their" in a singular context. Pick a pronoun for Kara and use it. Whether he is a she or she is a he, Kara is not a "they"
But then I thought, nah. I'll just read something else.

Especially in the workplace context, assignment of a particular gender for an example like this is often an issue. Many people (myself included) take the reasonable opinion that "they" is preferable to "he or she," if only on aesthetic grounds.

“he or she" and similar constructs are also not generally accepted for specific named individuals.
I sincerely doubt that the poster I replied to would be fine with the article if all instances of "Kara" were simply replaced by "[your/my/a] coworker."
Either Kara is more than one person, or this is a grammatical error. It may be an intentional grammatical error but an error nonetheless.
