Her Interview
Ten minutes with Dr. Karin
01What do you attribute your success to?
A lot of personal work, inner work, mindset work, but ultimately it takes a village. I came from blue-collar parents who had really good work ethic, and they always taught me if you want it, you earn it. It's not going to be given, and if you do the work, you'll get there. It's a combination of my own inner self-work and outgrowing the baggage that we're all given at the beginning, and yet also leaning in on the strengths that we're given at the same time.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
It came from my grandfather, and he always said, when an opportunity is presented, say yes, even if you don't know how to do it, or it's a job that nobody else wants. It's an opportunity to grow and learn, so always say yes. Basically telling me, don't be afraid to do something you don't know how to do.
03What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Love to cook, love to read love to exercise, love being with my dog and my family.
