Paralegal
Karen grew up in the rainy suburbs of Vancouver, BC. She studied politics and crime at Simon Fraser University, where she served as a student representative on the University Senate and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree. After moving around British Columbia and exploring a variety of career fields, including poverty law advocacy, marketing, and volunteer coordination, Karen landed in Bellingham at a private law firm, where she worked as a paralegal before joining the Project. Karen truly appreciates living in a rural setting, nestled in the foothills, walking distance from rivers and open space. She supports local farms, farmers and events like community seed exchanges - everything that helps preserve non-GMO supply chains. Karen has long believed in the Non-GMO Project's mission and the belief that everyone has the right to know what is in their food.
