Karen earned a BS in Animal Science from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and spent many years as a sales representative in the wholesale pet supply industry. She enjoyed the industry because it allowed her the opportunity to work with manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and consumers, all of whom loved animals.
Karen and her husband, Tim, enjoy spending time with their daughters, Katrina & Bridget, playing really bad golf, going to the beach and hanging out with their Mountain Dogs, Yodel, Mulligan and Elsa.
