With a BS in Education from the University of Illinois and an MS in Education from National Louis University, Karen developed her impeccable organizational, communication and management skills as a teacher. She then transitioned to become an award-winning realtor on Chicago’s North Shore, earning President’s Circle recognition for top sales.

Karen realized her dream of moving to Geneva Lake – her “happy place” since childhood. Karen resides in Fontana with her family. In addition to her love of real estate, she is a devout animal lover, and was President of a large humane organization as well as a licensed humane investigator. On her personal time, Karen enjoys walking the shore path with her dogs, boating on the crystal clear waters of Geneva Lake, and skiing on both water and snow!
