Quotes
“Karin masterfully creates engaging and fun trainings and workshops. Her years of dedication to the interpretation field have led to a genuine love for not only high-quality interpretation, but also bringing the best out in people. I would encourage anyone to take advantage of her knowledge and experience to further their own work in interpretation.”

“... you did an amazing job. You brought lots of creative ideas and new ways to teach certain subjects and also brought a number of new topics and ideas as well. I think the CIG curriculum was the right next step for this group and I think the training was really well carried out and very well received by our colleagues in Brazil.”

“The CIT workshop at Killbear last week was fabulous. Many of my fellow staff marveled at the dedication - showing up early, modeling excellent training delivery, and being available late into every evening ... beyond what we expected from a 40-hour course! ...We felt extremely lucky to benefit from the experience and personality.”
