Karen received her AAS in Veterinary Technology from Blue Ridge Community College and earned her BLS/ALS Rescuer Certification through the Recover Initiative — equipping her with advanced emergency resuscitation skills for her patients.
Karen loves serving our clients and patients at Anicira so much that she drives an hour each day to work. Growing up, Karen would bring home animals that needed care and would work tirelessly to save them. She believes that we are the voice for animals and loves being able to help them in any capacity. During her free time, she enjoys hiking at Bear Church — a 12-mile hike — kickboxing, and watching movies with her spouse and two children. Karen has two rescue dogs — a chihuahua named Ruru and a Pitbull named Jelly Bean — and a cat named Optimus Prime.
