Kari joined the NSTP team in September of 2014. Spending over five years in the medical field she held numerous positions at various clinics and hospitals throughout the Vancouver/Portland area. Her duties included data entry, payment processing, and insurance referrals. As the front office receptionist at an OB/GYN and Pediatric clinic, she enjoyed working directly with the patients. Most recently, her experience as an Independent Direct Sales Consultant and a Process Server with the State of Washington has enhanced her ability to communicate well with the public.

In charge of NSTP Membership, she processes applications and payments and keeps the database up-to-date. She insures members are kept informed of upcoming seminars and workshops by preparing direct mailings. Contributing her data entry skills to the Education team, she inputs registration info for NSTP educational events and helps prepare and ship conference materials.

Growing up in Montana, she now lives in Vancouver, Washington with her husband of 17 years, their two sons, 16 and 10, and their two high-spirited boxers. Always busy with her children and their band and sports activities, she delights in her exciting journey from preparing sack lunches to “you’ve been served”, to this next step as a member of the NSTP team.
