About Me

Whenever I'm working through problems, you'll find sticky notes everywhere.

Hey there, I'm Karen. For as long as I can remember, I loved creating and building anything and everything. My curiosity and interest in all things is a strength and weakness. I'm always in pursuit of opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills, especially if it leads to personal growth. That's sort of why I love reading self-help books which makes me sound a little like a nerd. It's probably why people would describe me as introspective. Beyond the 9-5, I'm usually working towards a goal, writing, learning the Korean language, exploring trails in my city, or travelling to new places. If you think we can be friends, feel free to reach out to me, I would love to chat or hang!

I love diving deep into problems and learning all that I can about it.

A jack of all trades is a master of none, but often times better than a master of one. - Shakespeare
