I sell the donuts
Kari Huskey
Growing up in the northern Oklahoma town of Wakita, Kari Huskey can claim a little bit of Hollywood fame, as her hometown is known as a filming location of the 1996 movie “Twister.” Don’t worry, she didn’t get in the suck zone.
For her secondary education, Kari earned a degree in business administration from Oklahoma State University. She has utilized the skills and knowledge that she brought from OSU to build a successful career spanning over 25 years. Plus, she can shotgun a beer.
During that time, Kari has held various sales and marketing positions in the health care, publishing, and hospitality, during which time she polished her talents for developing successful digital and print advertising campaigns; managing, training, mentoring and supervising teams; setting and following budgets; executing marketing strategies, and writing ad copy and press release for print, online and social media. Kari boasts film and radio experience as well, having delved into video conception, filming, editing and production, and had a stint as a successful radio personality. She also tried out to be a stunt car driver, but that career was short lived, something about hitting a wall.
Kari has a heart for volunteering and has served on boards of numerous non-profit, civic, and Chamber organizations. She enjoys being active in the community and is always willing to step in whenever and wherever she feels she can make a difference. She has also been known to step into a good line dance also.
What is the nerdiest thing you do in your spare time?
My Audible account is well used lol. I also love to put in my earbuds and sing and dance around while cleaning house.
If you could have any one superpower, which would you choose?
I am going to say the power of invisibility. I’d say fly but hey I can sneak onto a plane anytime invisible. Lol plus I can be super incognito and be a super spy like James Bond.
What’s your go-to karaoke song?
First off…If you see me singing karaoke you know I have had a few shots of liquid courage lol. I don’t really have a go to song but it would have to be something funny to shy away from the fact I can’t sing, but if I’m in my shower or giving a concert in my car … I’m a rock star!
