About The Instructor of VibeTribe
Karen Francis, VibeLink CEO
With a Bachelor of Science in Music Education from Trevecca Nazarene University, directly out of college, Karen taught Pre-K through 8th grade music for 1 year in Hawaii and then transferred to Georgia and taught middle school choir for 5 years. Karen continued her education with a Master of Science in Sport & Fitness Management from Troy University to being a personal trainer, and a middle school soccer and volleyball coach. About 13 years ago, Karen had an opportunity to transfer into a new field completely. HealthCare IT was changing and they needed teachers to train doctors on how to use Electronic Medical Records instead of paper charting! She continued to excel in her role of front end trainer, then Practice Management and Clinical systems analyst, promoted to client services manager, then moved into Project Management for HealthCare software implementation.
Her vision is coming to life to combine all of her experience with Music Education, Sport and Fitness Management, & Project Management into a beautiful hobby to deliver an exciting sound meditation class for children here in Orange County, California. It is the desire of her heart to provide a mode of healing that allows children to be themselves and be free to express their challenges and goals alike through the polarity of movement and stillness, sound and visualization, to teach resilience at a young age.
With the support of those who share in Karen's vision, she would apply any additional donations to future Certifications and Trainings for Sound Meditation and Project Management. All donations are greatly appreciated. Thank you for supporting the mission to get started and get the plane off the ground. Cheers to 2024!
