karen robertson : office manager
What is your full name? Linda Karen Huggins Robertson
Where were you born? Charleston - been here all my life
Tell us about your family. One great husband - 36+ yrs of marriage; 2 daughters - both alumni of James Island Christian School - Carie is a practicing Dental Hygienist in W.Ashley; Katie (a Clemson graduate) is graduating with a Masters in Human Resources at USC and starts her new career in Indiana. I have an identical twin sister named Sharon, so look for the right nametag!
What were you doing before you came to work at JICC? I have been working on the JICC campus for 20+ years - worked as the Youth Minister, Adm/Counselor under Pastor Dority. After the school opened, I moved over to JICS to work as the Adm Asst/Office Manager, then Finance Director. Now I have the joy of working with Pastor Russ (who was in my youth group, ya-hoo), as the Office Manager/Adm Assistant.
What do you like to do in your free time? I love to read and sit outside in the sunshine, especially at the beach.
What is your favorite food? My husband's baked beans - I can make a meal of them.
What do you love most about working at JICC? The people - so many gifted people all working together to serve Christ.
Describe your perfect vacation. Sitting on the balcony of the Biltmore House around Christmas time, with a hot cup of cocoa and watching the sun set over the mountains......
Describe your perfect day off in 10 words or less. Riding a 4-wheeler with my husband in the country.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I would love to have the natural talent my mother and husband have of being able to throw a handful of food or leftovers into a pot and have it taste scrumptious.
What three words would you use to describe yourself? Excited About Life
What is your favorite color and why? Purple - it's soothing and looks good on everyone
What is your favorite sports team and why? Football is Clemson for now - due to the "Kate" having been at Clemson - but, I'm actually a "house divided," as I support USC too - as long as either one does well for the Carolina's, I'm for 'em".
