Hi, I’m Karen
I’m a marketing educator, strategist, and founder of Whalen Marketing. I help small business owners and professionals simplify marketing and use AI in practical, human-first ways that support better decisions and stronger communication.
I spent 14 years teaching digital marketing and AI at University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and I bring decades of experience across entrepreneurship, training and marketing leadership. My work is grounded in turning complex ideas and theories into clear step-by-step systems people can actually use.
My style is calm, structured, and encouraging. I focus on clear priorities, simple systems, and steady progress that fits real life.
When I’m not working, I’m usually enjoying family and friends, making glass art or out walking with Poppy.
