Karen Bonner

Office Manager

Karen was born right here in Lynn, Massachusetts and currently resides in Swampscott. She is a mother of a Real to Reel Filmschool alum. Her parents instilled in her and her sisters a strong curiosity of other cultures. Over the years her family hosted exchange students from all over the world. She was raised to say "Lynn, Lynn the city of Shoes, Prosperity, Fluff." Karen is a graduate of Lynn English High School and Saint Anselm College where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in History with Minor in Art History. Her career has taken her from office to office as she is a self-described worker bee, and happiest when she’s busy with a task. Karen loves to walk the beach, play in her garden and enjoy time with friends and family. She’s a believer in the power of volunteerism and emphasizes how good it is for the soul. Now that her son is off to college, Karen currently volunteers hosting trivia and games at a local assisted living facility, the Bertram House, in Swampscott a couple of times a month.

Karen joined the team at RAW in 2023.
