"Karen is the consummate professional, bringing her years of vast event organising experience directly to our students in her capacity as guest speaker.  She always does this to the highest degree and is fantastic at mixing technical information with personal anecdotes from her time in the industry. Karen is the ultimate credit to her profession and is always willing to pass on any information she feels would benefit our students."

I approached Karen in 2021 to ask if she would mentor some of our BA Events Management students at the University of Northampton. She immediately said ‘yes’. I knew Karen’s expertise, knowledge and experience would make her an effective mentor, however, moreover she is a naturally optimistic and selfless person whose passion for the events industry is infectious. The feedback from the students has been extremely positive. She is approachable, friendly, professional, dependable and trustworthy. Karen provides support, advice, guidance, constructive feedback, coaching and is a good sounding board for her mentees. She has proactively reached out to her network to arrange specialist support sessions which her mentees have found enjoyable, extremely valuable and provided them with more industry contacts. Karen is inspirational and an exceptional role model.
