About Karena Thek

After years of extensive travel being a sales manager in the Biomedical research industry, I decided to expand my skills on helping buyers and seller find their home of their dreams!  I'm always here to offer you my sincere honesty and knowledge and my ability to listen well together with my strong work ethic.

I'm a graduate of the Temple Real Estate Institute and obtained my PA Real Estate license in 2021 and a licensed agent with Diamond 1st Real Estate, Palmerton, PA .   

As an experienced Executive with over twenty years of demonstrated success in building, training and leading teams. I've been the Director of Sales for the Foster Corporation since 2006, managing a global distribution network.  I launched hundreds of new products for the Bio Serv’s division of research.  As an entrepreneur at heart.  I  founded the American Enterprises, Inc. and the creator of the patented “Purple Mule”. 

I established and manages the Tiny Thek Bee Farm focusing on bee reproduction.

A Certified ServSafe Food Manager, I hold a MBA in Marketing, BA in Management and AAS in Accounting.  I'm a Certified Event Planner and a Certified ASQ Six Sigma Green Belt, a sales trainer and behavior educator. I also hold many board positions through multiple associations.  

I've pent a great deal of my life volunteering, focusing on food insecurity.  In 2015, I started the West End Food Pantry in Kunkletown.  WEFP currently feeds an average of 750 families per month and moves ~50,000 lbs. of rescued food each month into the hands that need it most.
