Hi everyone! My name is Karyn Troxell, and this is my last semester in the OD&C program- woohoo!!! I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was a bit nervous because I just recently decided to double-down and take 2 courses this semester to graduate. Okay, so this may not sound like a big deal, but my family and friends would tell you that I have a tendency to bit off more than I can chew 🙂
I work at Penske Transportation Solutions, out of the headquarters in Reading, PA. I’m the Director of Corporate HR and Organizational Effectiveness and I’ve been with the company for 17 years. I love what I do, and I enjoy being able to apply the learnings from this program to my work. I have an endless amount of projects that I think could be used for this course, so I’m really excited to apply the OD lens, in action, to one of them.
Personally- I was born and raised in Berks County, PA. My husband, Jeremy, and I have 2 children, Ella (12) and Jeremy, Jr. (8). As if they don’t keep us busy enough, I am involved in a few groups outside of work, like our County Workforce Development Board and the Berks County Employment for Individuals with Disabilities committee. I love the beach, traveling, and watching my kid’s sports events.
Best of luck to all of you this semester!
Karyn
