Fun facts: Karen calls herself a recovering perfectionist and is a neighborhood chalk artist. She made a Super Mario obstacle coarse in her front yard that washed away with the rain. She laughs at movie quotes from The Emperor’s New Groove. (“Beware, the groove…”) She waves at passing cars even if they don’t wave back, can get a stranger to take off their headphones in an airport, and sings off key to “Sweet Caroline.”

Audiences note she has a warm and relatable style.
