Karen joined Emerald Youth in 2021.

Born and raised in Knoxville, she loves Emerald Youth’s mission and helping impact children through her work at our main office on Heiskell Avenue. She previously served as business manager at a large medical practice.

Karen attends City View Church and is involved with youth at Emerald Avenue UMC on Wednesday nights. When she’s not at work or church, Karen can be found spending time with family, practicing yoga, and dancing.

Fun fact, she cannot stand clutter and loves helping keep things organized for Emerald!
