Her career has been centered on helping entrepreneurs navigate financial complexity, build sustainable operations, and grow responsibly—skills that translate directly into supporting farmers, food producers, and consumers on the Field2Fork platform.

At Field2Fork, Karlie contributes financial insight, risk awareness, and systems thinking to help ensure transparency, scalability, and long‑term success for local producers. Her background in process design and cross‑functional collaboration helps bridge the gap between mission and execution, strengthening the connection from field to fork.
