I cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience I had working with Karina. She's a true leader in every sense of the word, and her ability to think outside the box and generate fresh, new, top-quality ideas is unparalleled. I learned so much about improving content from her, especially when it comes to focusing on the best possible user/reader experience. In addition to her strong abilities as a manager and content strategist, Karina is also highly approachable, kind, and genuinely cares about the people she works with and manages. She always made an effort to uplift, encourage, and inspire her co-workers to produce high-quality work and live up to their full potential. Any team would be lucky to have her!

Karina and I worked closely together for Mindvalley, Yoga Platform called Zenward. During my time at Mindvalley, Karina was of invaluable help to me. Her organizational skills and driven personality, along with her sense of empathy eased my joining into the team. Karina is highly knowledgeable in Content Marketing. She is methodical and scrutinizes every detail to ensure maximum optimization of every piece of content we produced. Karina is also very balanced in her life-work approach. I always felt supported by her and knew she was eager to assist in any way possible if I ever was in doubt. It was a pleasure learning from Karina's tenacity, diligence, passion and candor.

Having worked with Karina in her capacity as a content team lead through several projects, I was always amazed at how well rounded she is as a professional. A rare combination of exceptional communication, leadership and creative skills. Although she would always make a high performing content lead, build efficient and close-knit teams, I think her skill-sets apply far beyond that in a variety of marketing and business-driven roles. If a role did justice to her skillsets, I would decide to work with her again in a heartbeat!
