“As board chair I worked closely with Karen on a number of projects. She was extremely efficient and a pleasure to work with. Her level of professionalism was very much appreciated in our new mandate. She was objective and had great writing ability. Her time with CATIE was critical and very helpful in working with the Board under a number of important issues, and in particular the re-branding of CATIE.”

“While studying at George Brown College, I did a work placement as a writer at the Canadian Women’s Foundation. Karen was the Director of Marketing and Communications there. She mentored, encouraged and supported me while I wrote articles, annual reports and revised web copy. Thank you very much, Karen. You were very generous with your support and are a great person to work with! All the best, Grace”

“Karen has an uncanny ability to distill some very abstract thoughts and translate them into a polished, viable solution in an extremely well-written piece that appeals to one’s intelligence and sense of wonderment. One can only arrive at this kind of result with Karen’s experience in marketing and sales, her insights and her remarkable ability to humanize a very tactical process. She is one sharp cookie who truly understands what it takes to make you shine. Plus, she never misses a deadline.”
