In 2010, as a mother of two pre-schoolers, Karen took a brave step from corporate career professional to business owner in an effort to carve out a more flexible career, enabling her to leverage her skills and be present for her boys.
What began as a resume writing service, grew into LinkedIn profile writing for job seekers, and self-discovery workshops for professionals in the mid-stage of their career.
Karen is now one of Asia Pacific’s Top 10 LinkedIn Experts.
