Program Director
“Working with tiny humans isn’t for the faint at heart. You have to be strong to be able to face your fears, frustrations, biases, and insecurities every day, but if you’re brave enough to do it with your whole heart, these tiny humans will teach you more than you can ever teach them. “
Karen has taught for over 20 years. In the USA, she taught 4th/5th grade, Toddlers, and Two-year-olds. In China, she taught from 18months old to age 65. In Thailand, she taught toddlers through to high school students. In Mexico, she taught 2nd grade and Kindergarten. In Egypt, she taught adults.
A world traveler, Karen has climbed the Great Wall of China, eaten the smelliest fruit in the world, had lunch in front of the pyramids, and even ridden an elephant, but none of that compares to watching her children see the wonders of the world.
