Karen’s passion for the nonprofit community spans nearly twenty years. As a mediator for the Vault brand, Karen maintains a cohesive personality for Vault as a driven, collaborative, and innovative organization across all marketing channels.
Loyalty and a drive for excellence make Karen a dependable addition to the executive team at Vault Consulting. She is an accommodating team member who can organize and communicate effective messages to clients or anyone interested in learning more about Vault. Karen is a natural helper with a cooperative nature. Her ability to collaborate with teammates and clients is a strength that makes her highly effective in driving growth for Vault and its partners.
Karen’s path to Senior Director highlights her aptitude for adaptability.

Equally creative as she is analytical, Karen now uses her design and marketing expertise to promote Vault to potential clients.

A Northern Virginia native, Karen lives in the DMV area with her pride and joy, Lulu, an English bulldog that she describes as “wee but fierce.” When Karen is not leading Vault’s strategic marketing initiatives, she enjoys applying her creative talents to her spouse and celebrity chef’s brand. You will likely find her getting Zen on her yoga mat or at the Barre in her free time.
Karen holds two certifications from the Digital Marketing Institute, passing both in the top 10% of her class.
