Karin Swenson-Moore joins Board of Directors

Please join us in welcoming Karin Swenson-Moore to the LSM Board of Directors!

Karin Swenson-Moore was born and raised in the Seattle area. A lifelong musician, she studied piano from age 7 through high school, played the oboe (and other woodwinds) in school band and orchestra, and always sang in church and school choirs. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Pacific Lutheran University, where she majored in mathematics, but always included music on her schedule as well, including band, orchestra and organ lessons at various points.

Karin is an actuary specializing in health insurance, with experience in both consulting and corporate roles. Currently, Karin is a director in the Actuarial department of Cambia Health Solutions in Seattle, Washington, where she leads teams focused on premium setting, product development and benefit and financial analysis for group customers of the Regence health plans in Idaho, Oregon, Utah and Washington. Karin is a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries and a member of the American Academy of Actuaries. Karin is an active professional volunteer and Academy committee chair.

Karin and her husband, Nick Moore, reside in Mercer Island, Washington, where they raised their daughter Brita, now an LSM Alumni Board member. Nick is a professional musician active in performing, accompanying, recording and educating as a keyboardist. In their free time, Karin and Nick love theater, concerts and travel, especially to see Brita and her husband Adam in Minnesota. Karin also sings with the Mirinesse Women’s Choir in Seattle, and has served in several roles on the Mirinesse board of directors.

Lutheran by heritage and by choice, Karin is a member of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Mercer Island, where she currently is chair of the Worship & Music committee and regularly serves in worship as a song leader and choir member.

Karin shares on the impact of LSM in her family:

LSM was home for our daughter Brita for three summers. She couldn’t wait to go back each year, feeling that she was with her people. She grew tremendously as a musician and as a person, and LSM greatly strengthened her faith as well. The LSM experience was rigorous and exciting, taught by tremendously gifted faculty and staff. I want to see LSM provide that same growth and opportunity for our future generations of musicians, no matter what paying career they choose, and to build our future church members and leaders. I am excited to give back to LSM as a board member to make that happen.
