Karen Pedersen became a Close To My Heart Consultant in January of 1993 and has since built a million-dollar team and earned the title Senior Executive Director. She has presented at numerous national Conventions and Leadership events, appeared in several Close To My Heart instructional videos, had her artwork published in several publications, and has even represented the company in the nationally syndicated show, “Paint, Paper and Crafts.” Karen and her husband Dan have four children and five grandchildren. She loves that Close To My Heart allows her to put her family first and still earn a lucrative living doing something she loves—and her family loves that Close To My Heart has literally taken them new places through the 12 incentive trips Karen has earned!
