Hear how being “cross-cut” during recruitment as a freshman gave Karen one of her first lessons in resilience—one that shaped her journey of grit and determination as she went on to realize her dream and become a Tri Delta as a sophomore. Since then, she’s carried those traits throughout her career, navigating the challenges of being the only woman in the room, learning confidence and embracing her power in a male-dominated field.
In this conversation, we’ll hear why Karen believes in being surrounded with supportive friends who keep her grounded while pushing her toward success. She shares her philosophy on authenticity, choosing organizations that allow her to be herself, and offers valuable advice for anyone whether in business, government or service. Learn why she got to chills when learning about being named a 2025 Woman of Achievement, about the causes she’s passionate about and what’s next for her as she leads HP today and beyond. Congrats again, Karen!
