Karen grew up in a small central Alberta town but Edmonton has provided the setting for her home, work, and education since her late teens. A nurse by profession for more than 30 years, she has worked in Neonatal Intensive care. She is the mother of two dynamic women in their 20s that have chosen health-related professions. Aside from Karen’s undergraduate and graduate education in nursing, she also has graduate degrees in Educational Policy Studies – adult education focus.
Karen has become more aware of health literacy, marginalization, diversity, and social responsibility. With her exposure to the Whyte Ave Rotary club, she says she has witnessed how our like-minded, energetic members are friends; together taking action to support healthier communities both locally and globally.
Karen has participated in the Skills Society – Making meals twice and visited our club meetings in person and online.
