I’m Karen and it’s nice to meet you

I specialize in bringing clarity and structure to complex environments and am passionate about supporting organizations in achieving impact and long-term stability.  

For more than 20 years, I have provided leadership, project management, and operational support to nonprofit, for-profit, and government organizations.  Under my leadership as executive director, I transitioned a small-scale organization into a statewide leader in education and advocacy for the environmental sector. I have provided strategic planning, project management, grant writing, and communications support to several statewide and regional community development organizations focused on affordable housing and access to healthy food.  

Most recently, I served as interim CEO for a national training company where I was responsible for aligning operational objectives with the company’s overall strategic goals, overseeing all aspects of the organization’s programs and operations. 

Throughout my career, I’ve learned two fundamental lessons: the power of embracing the “I” in teams, where each individual contributes to the whole, and the importance of cultivating a sustainable work-life balance. With this knowledge, I became a certified trainer and mentor, dedicated to helping others achieve personal resilience and professional optimization.

I look forward to working with you to set you own path forward towards empowerment.
