Bio
Karen Schwenk
In a world of surface connections, disposable products and self serving focus, Cary Burns is a unique and rare breed. Cary says what she means, means what she says, follows through with her word and delivers quality work that stuns and satisfies her obligation above and beyond. Perhaps it is simply a matter of the reality of limits of time and energy, but I do not stay in contact with everyone in my life, but Cary is a woman who I will keep tabs on, rush to connect with, and recommend whenever I can.
