She is a member of the Georgia Bar Association, Valdosta Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Association of Yale Alumni, and Habitat for Humanity. As an advocate for equality, one of the greatest challenges Attorney Walker encounters is overcoming the stereotype and stigmas of her profession. In her own words, "People often have a jaded perspective when dealing with lawyers. We are often deemed as shady or liars; although I will readily admit that there are attorneys like that, there are still many of us who operate with integrity and care about the well being of our clients." Though tough in the courtroom, Karla loves to enjoy life outside of work. She is the Youth Pastor at Path Church of Restoration and Deliverance where she is responsible for overseeing all youth activities. She is a speaker and coordinator for Hand Up Marketplace, Inc. a 501 (c) non-profit program designed to provide youth ages 16 and up with the skills needed to succeed socially, financially, occupationally, and educationally.
