Kari also provides strategic direction for paid advertising efforts, as well as high-level support for business development pursuits and corporate communication strategies.

Hometown: Sacramento

But I wish I could live: Boston. Or anywhere near the ocean.

My professional superpower:  Grammar Guru and AP Style Queen – correcting typos and grammar, one errant comma or dangling participle at a time!

Dog or Cat: Dogs. Plural. Three terriers – two well-behaved boys, Jedi and Obi, and one very ill-behaved (but endearing) girl, Posey. #crazydoglady

Favorite thing about my job: The people. I love the projects and our clients, but we wouldn’t be as good at what we do without such an awesome team of individuals!

I wish it could be this holiday every day: The Christmas season! That whole magical three-week +/- where the weather is cold, everything is decorated and the mood is high-spirited.

What was your favorite band in high school? U2. Was then and still is now.

What is your biggest office pet peeve? A messy breakroom and office food ninjas who secretly pick at the contents of doughnuts, cookies and bagels, and leave miniscule crumbs – AND THE KNIFE – inside the box.

I’m most proud of: My ability to roll with the punches. For someone who normally lacks patience (read: has road rage), I don’t get angry in many situations. Things happen, you deal with the issues, you move on and you get it done. It does help that the nature of the job doesn’t allow us to dwell, but rather requires us to find that immediate solution and GO!
