Karen deeks

Karen Deeks brings extensive experience in media, PR and brand building to the board. She began her career in publishing in London, at Associated Newspapers and Condé Nast, before moving into PR and communications for global fashion houses including Burberry and Christian Dior.

Her time in the fashion industry sparked a growing interest in sustainability and the environmental impact of consumerism. Karen relocated from London to Miami, where she has developed a deep connection to South Florida's natural world and an awareness of the pressures that rapid development places on its wildlife and habitats. She is actively involved in local initiatives that support conservation and raise awareness of its importance.

Karen holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and Communication Studies from the University of Miami and is delighted to lend her expertise to Pelican Harbor's mission to protect the region's native wildlife.
