Karen's Story
Howdy,
When High School years ended, I started college at SF State, Charlotte Petersen and I commuted to state together till Jr. year then she got an apartment in SF, and I continued to commute, was poor! We both graduated from their newly accredited School of Nursing, I applied for my Public Health certificate, we both married and went our separate ways. Worked for awhile in the hospitals where my husband's employment took us.....Ended up in Modesto, which remains my home, through I've ventured out a bit over the years. Worked in Public Health for 15 or so years, raised three daughters, and have been in and out of colleges for this and that since. In the 80's completed a Master's in Genetic counseling. Worked briefly in Tampa Florida, at U of South Florida, as a Genetic Counselor. Returned to Cal, and my first ...Expand for more
love Public Health in the Fresno area. Returned to Modesto via a job with Valley Mountain Regional Center, as their genetic counselor. I left VMRC, for School Nursing due to economics, so needed to be credentialed..so back to school I went. I've just retired from employment after working for Modesto city Schools, as a School Nurse. I guess I've never really left school. Kinda was a mixed up nerdie person in High School...but was always curious as to the whys of things...It's been a very interesting journey, I've learned a lot, only to know how little I really know, still a lot of whys, but now I'm leaving those for someone else to explore...
I have 5 wonderful grandchildren, with a 6th to arrive this fall. Life has been good and very full.
Olivia arrived in Sept...and have enjoyed her since, visit Tracy often.
