Karin joined the staff in March of 2023, replacing previous (now retired) treasurer Harlan Meyer. She came to Mount Vernon from Portland, Oregon in 2012 to be closer to her parents. While in Skagit Valley, she worked as the Program Administrator at Whatcom Community College Foundation for 3 years and as the Accountant at Skagit Valley College Foundation for 7 years. She retired from her last position in November of 2022 and is very happy to be able to serve as Treasurer here at Mount Vernon First United Methodist Church.
Karin is the proud mother of 3 and equally proud grandmother of 4, all still in Portland. She and her puppy Gretchen live in Mount Vernon, across the street from her parents.
