After graduation, Karimeh remained involved at the University through the Alumni Association. She was a founding member of the Young Alumni Committee and co-founder of the group's True Blue 5K. In 2013, she was selected to serve on the Association's National Executive Board of Directors.

Karimeh says, "I am proud to be a graduate of the University of Memphis and truly grateful for all of the opportunities that I was able to take advantage of during my time as a student. After graduation I wanted the opportunity to give back to the University that had given me so much. The Young Alumni Committee provided me the opportunity to not only give back but to help shape the future of the University and its Alumni programs."

Karimeh is the First Vice President over Fixed Income Sales at Morgan Keegan. She and her husband, Spencer, are both Life Members and have a daughter, Calla.
