As a native and lifelong resident of Rockingham County, North Carolina, she attended the local public schools and was a graduate of Reidsville Senior High, Class of 1984. She pursued further education at North Carolina A & T State University, receiving a degree in Industrial Technology with concentration in Construction Management.

Karen was formerly employed by Market America and American Express. During her leisure, she enjoyed reading, traveling, wedding planning and photography. She was a member of the Ebony Book Club.
