INSERT DESCRIPTION4

Contracted: 2009

Karen has always been "a planner."  

In high school, she planned dances and other school events with a spring in her step and a smile on her face. She loved it. And classmates appreciated the good times they had, thanks to her attention to detail.

But Karen didn't begin her career as an event coordinator. She first became a cosmetologist, eventually owning her own busy salon.  After cutting and styling the hair of hundreds of brides-to-be, Karen made a life-changing decision. Why not combine her organizational skills with the knowledge she'd gleaned from bridal clients, and form her own wedding planning service?

The success of that business led in turn to event planning, and the city is pleased to welcome her as a valued member of the Union Team.
