I’m not a journalist by any stretch of the imagination, but after getting my profile in the Times last week I decided there are plenty of other Jobsiteers that deserve a little love as well.
Meet Kari, she’s the first of our weekly profiles. I first met Kari in 1995 as I started my MFA at UF while she was in pursuit of her BFA. Life after Gainesville took her to LA, where she was a member of the esteemed Second City company there. Kari’s ultimate dream of becoming a flying squirrel may not have yet come to fruition, but boy howdy are we glad she’s one of us.
