Who knew? Karen's childhood ambition was to be a back-up dancer for Tina Turner! Actually, she would be great. Her love for laughter, music, and entertaining are indications that she would have done Tina proud.

The Texas Tech graduate has lived in the Dallas area since she was 15 years old. Her oldest son graduated from the University of Colorado in Boulder, her daughter from A&M, and her youngest son is attending Baylor University, where he is the president of his fraternity.

In her spare time, Karen can be found either spoiling her grandson or boating on Possum Kingdom Lake ... sometimes both at the same time.

Before joining Plano Profile's advertising sales staff in 2002, Karen worked as the events coordinator for Wednesday's Child and as a realtor. Her community volunteer experience includes membership in the Junior League of Richardson where she served as the gala co-chairman, gala entertainment chairman, gala decorations chairman, and rummage sale chairman. She also has spent hours volunteering in the PTA, at Wednesday's Child golf tournaments, her sorority alumnae, and a variety of other endeavors.

Karen says that her favorite part of her job is building relationships with her clients and helping them achieve success in their businesses. Obviously, she loves people and is a natural fit with sales and advertising.
