“I love working at Wink because I’m surrounded by friends.”
Karen’s journey began under the sunny skies of Southern California, where she attended U.C. Santa Barbara for her degree. Before bringing her talents to Wink, she immersed herself in the culinary business as a local restaurant owner for a decade. Her diverse career also includes roles in customer relations and operations management for two Austin-based companies, as well as a significant stint in the fashion industry. Throughout her varied career, Karen has consistently delivered outstanding customer experiences.
Karen is known for her warmth and dedication to making every client’s visit special at Wink. From sharing enlightening information about our offerings to organizing their future appointments, she’s the go-to for ensuring a seamless experience. Witnessing the transformative journeys of clients as they look and feel their best is one of her greatest joys at Wink.
Family is central to Karen’s life, with two adult children, two stepchildren, and the companionship of “Tito,” her white German Shepherd, and “Earl,” her tuxedo cat. Residing in Lakeway with her retired helicopter pilot husband, Nick, she enjoys cycling, Pilates, yoga, live music and the culinary and cultural explorations Austin has to offer. What inspires her? The beautiful people in her life, a riveting book, and the thrill of traveling to new destinations.
