Your Greater Phoenix Area Chapter President

Karianne Munstedt... An award-winning business owner and portrait photographer for women, Karianne is fiercely motivated by using her talents to make women feel confident, empowered, and whole.

As host of monthly online talk show Embrace the Shift, she invites women to have real conversations around topics that affect them as they age. Karianne is a wife, mom to a teen and toddler, and dog mom, and her claim to fame was when she won the school spelling bee in 6th grade on the word ‘buttonball.’

Your Entertainer

JENNY LOCKLIN ...

At the heart of Jenny’s performance is “edu-trainment” — where education meets entertainment in the most delightful way possible.

Jenny immerses herself in understanding your organization, audience, and event goals to deliver a performance that resonates long after your event ends.

Jenny’s session starts off as a serious industry talk and quickly turns into a comedic revelation.

She masquerades as a carefully crafted character, seamlessly integrating into your event’s theme to deliver a customized and unforgettable experience for your specific audience.
