Thank you for dropping by!
Karen is a performer hailing from the Philadelphia area. At a young age she knew she wanted to perform after her star turn as a rapping wise man in her 8th grade Christmas pageant.
She spent 4 years earning her Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre at the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music at Catholic University, as well as abroad at the London Dramatic Academy.
Karen is now studying at The Second City Conservatory in Chicago while remaining local to the DC/Baltimore area (it's a weird time to be alive). She is enjoying studying comedy and "yes and-ing" whatever keeps coming. Check out her "Funny Stuff" page to see some sketches she has written and performed!
