Meet a CSGer: Karen

The “Cool” Aunt

One of my favorite titles that I take very seriously! In my free time, I enjoy spoiling and visiting with my nephew, Chris. He’s a New Years Eve baby, and is full of spunk, kindness and curiosity.

Big Sister (Big Brothers Big Sisters)

Big Brothers Big Sisters is an organization close to my heart. I started volunteering as a “Big Sister” when I moved to San Diego in 2018. I had two “little sisters” that I still keep in contact with today. When I moved to Denver in 2022, I continued to be a part of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado and became a “Big Sister” again.

Soccer Fanatic

I love all sports, but my favorite sport to watch (and play) is soccer. I started playing soccer when I was five, and my dad was my coach for the majority of my childhood. I grew up idolizing players like Mia Hamm, Brandy Chastain, and Abby Wambach, and enjoy watching the continued success of the U.S. women’s national soccer team today.

Loyal Jacksonville Jags Fan

“This year is going to be OUR year!” - every Jacksonville Jaguars fan, since 1995. My family and I lived in Jacksonville, Florida when the team was established, and despite our history of many losing seasons, we remain loyal Jags fans. Super Bowl LIX here we come!

Family-Oriented

Family is everything to me. I have two older brothers that have shaped me into the person I am today. We’re a close-knit family, despite our physical locations (San Diego, Orlando and Denver), but still enjoy coming together for holidays… especially during Christmastime!
