Karen moved to Colorado with her husband in the summer of 2000 and enjoys all the outdoor activities this state has to offer. After several years as a Travel Agent and many more in customer service-related jobs, she decided to pursue a career in Veterinary Medicine. Karen graduated from the Bel-Rea Institute of Animal Technology in 2005 and cannot imagine doing anything other than helping animals and their families.
Since moving to Colorado, Karen and her husband have taken full advantage of the outdoor life. They enjoy hiking and backpacking the many trails available. Recently, they have taken up rock and ice climbing. On her lazy days, Karen enjoys reading and even sewing.
Currently, Karen’s family is down to one four-legged child. Her name is Señorita (Rita for short), and they adopted her from the Puerto Vallarta SPCA in May 2014. Rita looks like a black lab mix, but DNA testing says she is a Mastiff/Bassett hound mix. Either way, she is a bundle of energy that fits into their active life.
