Karen Grissom

I really do enjoy putting things together, problem solving, and connecting people to solutions. Because this is what I do, I spend a lot of time tapped into my creative mind. This is also why I occasionally find myself warning others to ignore my process because it can be pretty scary to watch, but at the end of what can seem slightly chaotic is a pretty sweet successful outcome. With a combination of over 15 years working in the government and non-profit sectors, I have functioned in the capacity of Executive Assistant, Office Manager, and Event Coordinator for both work and community related events. I learned years ago that thinking outside of the box, and at times applying unorthodox methods for problem resolution is the key to excellent internal and external customer service. It also doesn't hurt to be able to use Microsoft and Google office Suites, Adobe and other web-based planning tools to get the job done. Outside of the office, I can usually be found at local art galleries, community events, or with a microphone in front of me performing poetry, hosting, or speaking at various events around the state.
