Karen Galvin

Staff Assistant                                                               

Karen Galvin is the newest addition to the Ted E. Bear Hollow staff.  She has a background as a licensed investment manager, human resource consultant, and over 15 years of project and people management.  Karen first came to Ted E. Bear Hollow as a family member dealing with the tragic death of her son, and quickly realized that this was the place where she wanted to give back.  She has been volunteering as a support group facilitator, and jumped at the opportunity to become a permanent member of the staff when a part-time position became available.  She says this is “the job of her heart,” and she is thrilled to be a part of this caring and growing organization.
