“I have worked with Karie on three separate projects and am grateful for her meticulous attention to detail, keen insight, collaborative spirit, and positive energy. Most of all, her instinct for imaging diverse talent in ways not previously considered is her super-power! She is skilled at providing gentle reminders in support of talent that I may have either discounted or forgotten. Karie is an invaluable collaborator who is always available to brainstorm through any casting challenge on the way to total success!”
