Christy Whelchel

Karen was my executive assistant during my last two years with MPC. During this time, she also supported other executives and was available to assist with special events for many other team members. She consistently demonstrated an ability to take on multiple tasks at once, was detail oriented and had a "team first" attitude. Karen is able to learn quickly and enjoys challenging assignments. She would be a great addition to any team.

Karen is a valuable asset to Marathon Petroleum, she is what many of us look for when we want to drive change in a group and/or organization. Karen is egger, hungry and beyond driven when it comes to learning, implementing and driving best practices. It’s been an absolute pleasure to have her on my team and I would hire her again, if she would ever leave Texas. Karen truly brings the best out of other employees and is not afraid of a good challenge.
