Currently retired, Karen has thirty-four years of combined experience
teaching both regular and special education elementary students and
counseling in elementary schools. In, addition, she spent many summers
working as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) at a mental health
crisis center. She feels blessed to have raised two children and to watch
them grow into successful adults, blessed to be a grandma, which fills her
days with fun, laughter, and love, and blessed to have had so many
students and clients touch her heart over the years in unimaginable
ways. All are her inspiration for writing.
