Before, during and after GASAT 7, Karin showed her ability to work with diverse client groups over a sustained period of time. Karin's ability to work with others and stay cool while attending to the needs of 250 individuals from around the world was a great contribution to the success of the event.

Karin is a creative thinker who can put thoughts into actions that work.

Ann Holmes, Chair of GASAT 7, International Gender and Science and Technology Conference



Karin has a varied background that enables her to bring a host of different skills to the projects she takes on. She has single-handedly coordinated large-scale events, handling everything from logistics and planning to media relations and press conferences. Karin is uniquely able to develop a strategic communications plan, and then carry out all of the pieces to make the plan happen.

I have a very high regard for Karin's professional communications skills.

Carol Zelniker, Executive Director, Communications, Ministry of Attorney General



Our busy communications branch has had to tackle almost every kind of communications job and there is nothing Karin can't do. She is a true professional.

Sally Sheppard, Director, Communications, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing



Karin knows how to turn any event into something noteworthy and handles high-profile, pressure-filled situations with ease.

Anne-Marie McElrone, Communications Advisor to the Minister of Housing



...through Karin's outstanding organizational abilities and media / event know-how, we were able to roll out 15 news conferences province-wide over a ten-day period. We got excellent media coverage, thanks primarily to Karin.

These are just some examples that illustrate her very senior level communications expertise. But they do not begin to convey to you the pleasure of her personal style - a rare blend of professionalism, sound judgment and just the right touch of humour.

Lisa Jakobsen, Manager Internal Communications and Editorial Services, Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation



Karin planned, coordinated and executed three major conferences for the Ontario Women's Directorate. She developed a marketing plan, conducted media relations and handled all the logistics for these events. These conferences were all highly successful, well attended and creatively put together. It is always a pleasure to be involved in a conference organized by Karin, as they operate extremely smoothly and draw excellent reviews from those who attend them.

Mary-Helen Spence, Director Consultative Services Branch, Ontario Women's Directorate



The success of Phase One could not have been realized without the professional assistance provided by your company. On behalf of the Canadian Panel on Violence Against Women, I would like to express a heartfelt thank you for all your hard work and dedication.
