Karen is a native of Normandy Park/Burien area, where she was raised by her Attorney father and Nurse Professor Mother.

After gradationing from WSU in Hospitality Management, she worked for Hyatt hotels for 5 years before embarking on a 26 year career in the Financial Services Industry.

Her love, respect and dedication to seniors started as a small child. She spent each summer on her grandparents Apple Orchard in Wenatchee. She and her grandmother, Virginia were very close and went on many excursions together (including being in a Hot air balloon during the New Mexico Balloon festival).

Karen felt blessed to be able to care for her family as she cared for her in-laws, and her father who suffered with dementia after her mother suddenly passed. She considers it her ministry to be a part of a senior living community.

She brings 12 years of experience in serving seniors to Holden at Southcenter.
