Karen's Story
Life
After living in Virginia, I moved to San Francisco for 5 years where my 2 daughters were born... true "California girls". We returned to the East Coast in 1987 to central New Jersey just north of Princeton for 5 years. (Left my ex-husband there.) When we relocated back to the DC area, my parents had moved to the Maryland-side of the river, so we settled in Potomac, Maryland in 1992. My oldest daughter graduated from Emory University in Atlanta. My youngest graduated from Duke.
College
After Oakton, I went to the College of William & Mary and got a BBA degree in accounting. Many years later, while living in San Francisco, I returned to school for an MBA at Cal State Univ.
Workplace
After college, I started work at A...Expand for more
rthur Andersen & Co. in Washington, DC and Tysons Corner, VA. I eventually transferred to their San Francisco office. When I returned to the East Coast, I took a job as Associate Controller at Rutgers University and then as Assistant Dean for Finance and the University of Maryland School of Medicine. I then spent a few years doingfinancial and adminstrative consulting for non-profits...and I loved having a flexible schedule.. I next spent 13 years as the COO/CFO for the Universities at Shady Grove, a campus of the University System of Maryland. I retired in 2017 and am loving every minute of this life. I serve on a few community Boards & do a little consulting, but the thing I love most is playing with my 3 grandkiddos.
