“I collaborated with Karen on a TEDx radio show. She outlined, produced, scheduled, and edited it. She also found a musician to create intro music and transitions and was a consummate professional throughout each step in the process. She made the experience memorable and the show exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend her for her patience, creativity, knowledge, and teaching skills.”
