About
Hi! I’m Karen :)
I’m an Executive Assistant and HR-savvy operations pro with a passion for keeping people, projects, and processes running smoothly. I have extensive experience managing busy executive calendars, coordinating domestic and international travel, supporting events, and serving as a reliable liaison across teams and departments.
I love creating structure, solving problems, and building systems that make work easier for everyone—whether that’s organizing meetings, crafting clear Standard Operating Procedures, or helping teams stay aligned. I bring strong communication skills, a calm and positive attitude, and the ability to multitask in fast-paced environments while protecting confidentiality and maintaining a high standard of detail and care.
When I’m not working or networking, you’ll probably find me watching sports, rearranging a room for the perfect interior design vibe, or cuddled up with my cat, Iker.
I’m also a Certified English–Spanish Translator available for freelance projects, and a wedding Officiant serving the Sussex County, NJ area.
Feel free to reach out with any questions, collaborations, or inquiries—I’d love to hear from you!

I had the pleasure of working with Karen for a year, during which they served as the Executive Assistant to me and our leadership team. From day one, she demonstrated exceptional organizational skills, professionalism, and a proactive mindset that kept our team running smoothly.
She effectively managed complex calendars and ensured seamless communication across departments and stakeholders. What stood out most was Karen's ability to handle multiple priorities with productivity and effectiveness. Whether managing board agendas, organizing company events, or keeping our leadership team on track, Karen did it all with a positive attitude and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Any organization would be lucky to have Karen as part of their team, and I highly recommend her for any role requiring dedication, efficiency, and top-tier support. I have no doubt that she will continue to excel in her next endeavor!

CEO, Sugatan
As the CEO of Sugatan, I often hear about rising stars & Karen was one of them. She was part of a group of hires when I envisioned building a New York team but when things went sideways unexpectedly, the need for a New York team was no longer necessary & all NY teams had to be dispatched, with Karen being the only person we kept bc of the potential she exhibited. Eventually, the NY team was replaced with a Europe team & the time zone difference posed as the challenge.
Karen was offboarded as a result but through no fault of her skills & commitment. She’s a stellar team player & whoever will snatch her will be lucky!
Thank you for putting in your energy until the very end, Karen!

Karen is the epitome of a go-getter and team player. Although we started around roughly the same time, her work ethic and fast learning made me think she had been in the role for even longer! She always took the initiative to help us while also managing her own work. I'm glad I had the opportunity to work with Karen. I know she will succeed in any role she chooses.
