About Karen Titchenal

Currently focusing on my family and raising my first born son, Axel. I am passionate about using the trend of innovation as a catalyst to drive resources and attention to underserved communities. I believe that technology has the power to make the world a better place and that it is imperative that every person has access and opportunity to do so. The throughline of my work is built upon Luke 12:48-\"From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.\"As well as being very aware that the purpose of influence is to speak up for those who cannot (Psalm 72). I draw upon the idea of creating a sense of hope and connection with others as I firmly believe the way to make a sustainable change is by working together to build momentum which will generate a ripple effect across our communities. I know that I do not have all the answers but believe that if we all can show up where we are, who we are, and bring to the table whatever we have, we can do great things. I love co-creating, networking and celebrating the passions of everyone I meet!I love drone photography\"Fear to a great extent is born of a story we tell ourselves and so I chose to tell myself a different story\". – Cheryl strayed.
