After receiving her Bachelor's degree in Journalism from San Diego State University, she worked as a news anchor and reporter in Palm Springs and Sacramento. Watch for these reports Tuesdays and Thursdays on 2NEWS NBC at 5 p.m. Life at home is busy with three children, Garrett, Erin and Micah. We balance our professional lives by juggling schedules to make sure one of us is almost always home with the children. Karen's husband, Dennis, is a Captain with the Tulsa Police Department and Commander of the TPD Bomb Squad and Special Operations Team. When she finds a spare moment, Karen enjoys reading mysteries, science fiction and romance.
Antiques are another hobby.
Dennis and I love to hunt for treasure in antique shops. I search for vintage clothes from the 40's, china and dusty, old furniture that's just waiting for someone to bring it home. America's passion for gardening is a new one for Karen. Last summer, we grew heirloom tomatoes, bell peppers, sugar snap peas and herbs in a tiny corner of the backyard.
