Karen's Story
After graduating from Drew University with a degree in chemistry in 1994, I attended graduate school at Yale where I received my Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry in 2000.

I particularly enjoy volunteering within the scouting community, which is vibrant here in Newtown and the rest of Fairfield County. My other hobbies include baking and gardening.
Hope you all are living your best lives! One thing living in Newtown has taught me is to BE KIND always!!!!!!!
