Karen Allen Ward 4

Karen moved to Saint Paul in 2012, after growing up in Roseville and attending the University of Minnesota. She fell in love with the city and proudly considers herself “St Paul’s #1 Hype Girl” to those who know her.

She has lived in Saint Anthony Park, Summit-University and now Midway. Karen has been a renter, a homeowner and a landlord, and believes these roles offer her unique insights on ways to improve the city for all its residents.

Karen has experience in event planning and works as an events and services manager at an office management/development company. She has volunteered with Neighbors For More Neighbors, Rethos (formerly the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota), local campaigns and neighborhood groups.

Term expires: January 2025
