"Karen worked on consumer-focused writing projects
for our Department. Although hired initially for her
top-notch writing and editing abilities, Karen's strategic
approach, planning experience and insight into government's
inner workings made our products better, and our projects
run smoothly and on schedule."
—Donna Oates, Manager,
Strategic Projects, Health Canada, January 11, 2010
“Karen's contributions to the branch and the
department have been remarkable. Not only does she
have an excellent understanding of the importance
of internal communications in an organization, but
she applies it in her role as advisor and in her communications
plans. Karen also applies principles of fairness,
honesty and openness in the workplace. Her performance
in the first six months on the job has been nothing
short of superior.”
— Oxana Sawka, Senior Director,
Communications Branch, Industry Canada, March 31,
2005 (performance review comments)
“Karen played a critical role as Team Leader
in managing the priorities and issues coming our way
… she produces high quality products, possesses
excellent writing skills, provides sound strategic
advice, and is clearly able to understand and draw
the links with the ‘big picture’ ... Karen
enjoys very good working relations with her clients.
She is well respected and her advice is sought …
Karen has clearly proven that she can manage a heavy
workload and work under pressure. She is definitely
one of my brightest and rising stars.”
— Jo-Anne Brisebois, Director,
Communications Branch, Justice Canada, June 2004 (performance
review comments)
“First read through: ‘WOW’ –
crisp, concise, precise and – yes – interesting
with a real energy and dare I say flair!! The language
hits the mark in terms of style, level of vocabulary
and it makes difficult concepts understandable to
a non-specialized audience. I love the opening –
it captures the breadth of what we do in a compelling
way.”
— Catherine MacLeod, Justice
Canada, September 1, 2003 (in reference to redraft
of the department’s “Report on Plans and
Priorities”)
“In her role as a senior internal communications
advisor, Karen has already earned the confidence of
many clients within the Department, who have expressed
high praise for her quick grasp of the issues and
her ability to produce products of a high quality,
both in terms of substance and writing style. Of particular
note was Karen's significant contribution to the Firearms
program file. This was a file of major significance
to the reputation of the Department and its senior
managers…Karen worked long hours under extreme
pressure, but always produced work of the highest
quality.”

Director, Communications Branch, Justice Canada, March
