Karen has been a professional journalist for 16 years, most of the time at Newsday, where she’s served as a news copy editor, assistant sports news editor, news editor and senior news editor, her current position.
Previous to working at Newsday, Karen was a copy editor at the Times Herald-Record in Middletown, N.Y., and as a reporter, copy editor and assistant city editor at the Daily Local News in West Chester, Pa.
As a WNBA Liberty season-ticket holder and someone who has been known to travel hundreds of miles in a day just to see a women’s basketball game, Karen has been described by some of her friends and colleagues as a women’s basketball fanatic. Let’s just say she’s an exuberant fan who can spend hours on end talking about the season with others who share her passion.
