About Karen

Hey, I’m Karen.

I’m a content repurposing specialist, administrator, eagle-eyed proofreader, avid reader, and life-long lover of writing.

Studying entrepreneurship, business, management, computer science, writing, digital design, media, and communications has given me a unique geek-admin-comms approach to work, with a wide variety of skills and experience. 

I’ve worked in a range of different industries including recreation, aviation, not-for-profit, arts, higher education, health, and wellness. I’ve supervised a team of over 30 casual staff members, but now I just supervise my two rescue cats, Bandit and Luna, and I love it!

Caring for Guide Dogs and Autism Assistance Dogs and helping with their training was a privilege I won’t ever forget. I’ve also been a cheerleader for football and basketball teams and a gymnastics coach. I’ve worked as an administrator, manager, virtual assistant, consultant, and ghostwriter.

When I was a kid I used to regularly write pieces that were published in The Canberra Times newspaper each weekend and once accidentally started a whole section that allowed other kids to contribute to a continuing story, told week-by-week.

It was around that time when I knew all the words to Young MC’s ‘Bust a Move’ and listened to it on repeat on my Walkman on the way to camp (outing myself as a Gen X-er here!). I also once met the Red Hot Chilli Peppers briefly outside a hotel while I was painted blue… a story for another time.

On a more serious note, I’ve written a memoir about my experience as a victim of crime which I’m putting the finishing touches on before releasing to the world.

But whatever is happening in my life and the wider world, I always come back to writing. It’s how I process my thoughts and feelings, and it’s how I can best communicate those to others.

I’d love to work with you and help you get your message out to the world too. Click to find out more about my Content Repurposing Service and other Business Admin Services.
