Back before “foodie” joined the mainstream vernacular, the world already had Karen. Whether she’s home in San Francisco or off continent-hopping, one look at her Instagram will prove that indulging in excellent food and creative drinks is always a top priority. As a certified PMP (Project Management Professional), Karen’s also got the receipts to prove she’s a master of managing, collaborating, and building relationships with every kind of personality—in even the most complex scenarios. She has a decade’s worth of project management experience in digital marketing, advertising, re-branding, and website development. In the United States, Hong Kong, and Japan, she’s brought her skills to companies and clients like MUFG Union Bank, HSBC, AIA, Deutsche Bank, Manulife, ANZ Bank, Disney, San Francisco Chronicle, and Alzheimer’s Association. Between the decadent meals and client meetings, Karen also finds time to give back to the community, offering her talents in marketing and program management to local non-profit organizations in need.
