Karen began working at the Institute for Economic Empowerment of Women in May of 2012. Raised as an expat kid, Karen had the unique opportunity of living abroad for more than 29 years of her life. Japan, Turkey, Israel, Germany, Oman and the United Arab Emirates were some of the countries in which she lived.
She earned a B.S. in Business Administration and Marketing from High Point University in North Carolina. After graduating, she entered the non-profit industry with Consumer Credit Counseling Service where she served as their Education and Marketing Director. From there she moved into Marketing, Public Relations, and Event Planning. Several years later, she found herself living back overseas–in the Middle East.
Upon returning to Oklahoma, Karen followed her desire of being involved with international cultures. For this reason, IEEW is the perfect arena for her to help educate and empower women of different nationalities through the PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS ® program.
Karen is the proud mom to daughter, Taylor. They live on a private lake in the Edmond area and enjoy being outdoors, fishing, traveling, and spending time with friends. In her spare time, Karen also loves to ride Harleys with her friends.
