From working as a national TV correspondent, covering the wars in Bosnia and Afghanistan, to creating her trademarked Travel Therapy TV brand, to writing movies, novels, and scripted mult-cast audio features, Karen says she is first and foremost a storyteller who is passionate about telling stories that are uplifting and empowering, filled with heart and hope. Karen grew up outside of Seattle and in Los Angeles and graduated with honors from California State University Fullerton with a double major in Broadcast Journalism and Sociology. When Karen’s not traveling researching her next story, you can find her in New York City, NY, Scottsdale, AZ, and visiting her family in Washington State. A favorite question Karen was asked once when she was still working as a TV correspondent came from an Oscar-nominated screenwriter and author who asked her… “What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?” Karen’s answer without hesitation. “Exactly what you’re doing….” And Karen says that question has fueled her forward ever since.
