After living in UT, HI, CA, VA, DC, WI, WV & KS, Karen now lives in Newburgh, IN with her husband and two children. She’s been a BYU writing tutor, an English teacher, technical writer, director of academic support services, and aging studies adjunct. She’s reinventing herself–again. New role still pending, but mature athlete, thrift store fashionista, and court jester are strong candidates. She maintains the blog The Generation Above Me.
