Karen grew up in Canada, where her love for the outdoors led her to pursue a degree in environmental science. Her area of focus is water and atmosphere, and her work has ranged from outdoor environmental education, to groundwater research in the prairies of Canada. Though her passion for water and science has never faded, it has expanded to include the sustainability movement in all its diversity. After moving to Sweden to earn her MSc in Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability, she joined the instructional team at the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Karlskrona. Here, she teaches, develops course curricula, and has designed and facilitated workshops in topics ranging from thermodynamics to participatory leadership - all framed within the context of strategic sustainable development. Karen loves being part of a community that brings creativity to their work, for the purpose of bringing about positive change in the world.
