She created and line-produced three videos also marketed worldwide: a children’s aerobic program, an exercise/play tape for pre-school-aged children and a peer counseling session for teens. Her current portfolio consists of six completed screenplays and a completed novel. Other projects are in various stages of development. As the former Corporate Head of a $5M Food & Beverage Department at a racetrack and casino with 187 staff in her charge, Karen brings a uniquely positive spin to the creative process.

Karen lives on the central coast of California with her husband, Bill, whose private security career includes protecting many high profile clients, traveling on assignment throughout the world and contracts in Sudan and Djibouti, Africa.
