Headshot of Karissa NortonKarissa

Sales & Community Engagement Specialist

Originally from Rhode Island, I’ve always been a beach girl at heart — which explains my love for sunshine and a good tan. I moved to New Hampshire in 2017, and about a year ago, my husband and I, along with our rescue dog Harley, settled into Henniker, where we’ve embraced the charm of small-town living. These days, I enjoy spending time outdoors — whether it’s relaxing on the porch with a cup of coffee, tending our garden, camping by the river up north, or exploring new towns.

Creativity is a big part of my life, and crocheting is my favorite way to unwind. I love trying new patterns and picking up new tricks — even if I’m winging it sometimes! I rarely keep my finished projects since gifting them to family is the best part. When I’m not crafting, I enjoy traveling, tasting local foods, and getting lost in puzzle games, especially escape rooms. I’m always eager to learn something new and bring positive, team-first energy to everything I do.
