Karen has a passion for providing women with personalized thorough healthcare. She was born and raised in upstate New York, where she received her BSN in nursing at Elmira College.  She went on to work as an RN at Albany Medical Center where she spent nine years working in postpartum, GYN medical surgical and neonatal intensive care units. Her passion for women’s healthcare led her to acquiring an advanced degree from The Sages Colleges of Albany as a Family Nurse Practitioner. While she enjoyed family practice for several years as a FNP, she knew her desire was in women’s healthcare. She has loved providing care to her OB/GYN patient’s in New York, but is excited to relocate and escape the long winters. Karen is married to her high school sweetheart, Evan, has two daughters, and an energetic dog. In her spare time Karen enjoys running marathons, hiking, spending time with her family, and exploring her new home city of Greensboro.
