I had the pleasure of working with Karen at Monarch Tractor, and if there's one thing I can say with absolute certainty, it's that she’s the kind of person you can trust to deliver high-quality work every single time — without fail.
Karen originally joined Monarch as a copywriter, but she didn’t just stop there. With an incredible eye for detail, an unwavering drive for excellence, and a commitment to thorough research, she quickly established herself as the team's go-to expert for SEO strategy. And by the time I left Monarch, Karen had taken full ownership of the content program, and I knew it was in the best hands possible. Beyond her expertise, she’s also an incredible team player—always ready to help, always looking for ways to improve, and always someone you can count on.
Any team would be lucky to have Karen. Karen is not just a writer — she is a strategist who ensures that everything she writes is not only engaging but also meticulously aligned with business priorities and goals, driving both impact and results.

Karen is a skilled writer who we’re lucky to have as a regular contributor. I know I can send any style of assignment her way, and she has the adaptability to not just tackle it, but make it sing. No matter the topic, her knack for storytelling and expert interviewing skills results in content that is on-brand and captivating. We count on her for some of our trickiest topics and formats, and her ability to manage frequent — and often, tight — deadlines makes her contributions invaluable. But not only is Karen reliable; her creative, collaborative, outgoing nature makes her an absolute joy to work with.
