Karen began her career with Carnegie Mellon in 1980. She’s been with CMU Dining Services for more than 25 years and is an expert in the complexities of dining finances. Specifically, she works with deferred revenue and manages a daily checks-and-balances process to balance the books. Throughout her tenure at the university, Karen has appreciated learning from her peers and considers Carnegie Mellon a second home, a beloved place where her three children attended the Cyert Center and summer camps for many years.
