We couldn’t be prouder of Karen and her achievements (Pictured 3rd from the right, front row).
“Karen’s work, like that of all our Project Managers across WA and the NT, is truly remarkable. She’s our energizer bunny – her enthusiasm, passion, hard work, and love for the children she works with is contagious. It’s fantastic to see her receive this well-deserved, global recognition. This award also shines a spotlight on the dedicated efforts of remote communities who are working to improve nutrition and prevent disease by partnering with Karen and EON,” said Executive Chair Caroline de Mori AM.
Congratulations, Karen!
“Karen’s commitment to promoting health and nutrition at school and within the community is truly exceptional. She has an incredible ability to engage students of all ages, making healthy eating both fun and accessible.
Through her hands-on lessons and creative approach, she empowers children and community members alike with the knowledge and skills to make healthier food choices for life. Karen’s passion for improving the well-being of our students and community makes her an invaluable asset to the school.
