Ways you can work with Kari

Mom, Wife, Coffee Lover

I'm a wife, a mom to 4 boys who are almost all teenagers. I am literally surrounded by boys….and I love it, I even have a male dog. I love them all more than anything. It's almost always constant chaos around here - so loud, boys wrestling,  fighting, eating or all the above. You can almost always find me in the kitchen cooking for one or all of them - which I also love.  I love coffee and dark chocolate and I LOVE teaching and technology. Which is where you come in and probably why we're here together.

Always a Teacher

Since I was probably 14 and started teaching swimming lessons - daughter of 2 teachers - I KNEW I was born to teach in some way. I have a Bachelors degree in Business and Accounting from Concordia College in Moorhead and a Masters in Education Technology from Pepperdine and TONS of experience in almost every industry using Microsoft Office in so many different capacities and applications. I've been teaching for more than 25 years and have taught literally thousands of people different Microsoft Office apps (Excel, Access, Outlook, PowerPoint etc).

Helping You Work Smarter

I have done stand-up classroom style training, virtual training, on-demand training, self-paced training, executive training, one-on-one training – you name it – I've probably done it. I LOVE teaching people how to use these everyday programs better, ways to save time so you can work SMARTER and have more time for the things that you love.  When possible, I love to get to know you personally – your stories – your individual challenges and backgrounds. I love learning about your particular situation and applying my experience and helping you figure out how to best use the Microsoft apps to do what you need to do in the best way possible.
