Meet Karen Spector

Karen Spector is a recent transplant to the Orlando area, having moved here from New Jersey in the summer of 2022. She has been an educator for over 30 years, both in elementary and Jewish education. Karen most recently worked at Golda Och Academy, a Conservative Jewish day school, for seventeen years as a teacher, director of admissions, and assistant principal.  

Her vision for Heller Family Grove, and for the broader JCC community, is to help create a warm and inclusive space for children and families to play and learn, where children will be able to receive a variety of services, parents will be able to engage in workshops and classes, and life-long friendships will be made.
