“Karen has an incredible ability to empower volunteers to embrace fundraising with confidence and passion. Initially hesitant to ask for money, she helped me shift my mindset, reframing fundraising as an opportunity to invite others to help change lives. I went on to raise over $150,000 after working with Karen. Her training not only took the fear out of the ask but strengthened our donor relationships and significantly increased awareness and commitment to our mission.” 

Martha Shaker, President, Concept Rehab, LLS 2016 Woman of the Year

“Working with Karen was not only personally a pleasure due to her energy, enthusiasm and intelligence - but professionally she brought experience - and more importantly - wisdom to the table. Trustworthy, integrity, bias for action - describe Karen and her work ethic. I would gladly work with Karen again and I seek her advice and counsel for my own business.”
