keep you laughing at yourself as you relate to her experiences. Even ovarian
cancer couldn’t stop her from turning her pain into punchlines. Diagnosed in
2013 after a routine checkup, Karen was determined to take on the disease with
hope and humor and in 2016 she was chosen to present her talk, "Cancer is
a Laughing Matter" at TEDxChattanooga and was recently featured on Robin
Roberts "Thriver Thursday."
Karen has faced every
challenge with determination. She stands at 5'2" and was told more than
once that she was too short to play basketball. Not only did she play, in 1981
she led the nation in assists and became the first, division 1 first team
All-American in UT-Chattanooga’s history. Karen was the first UTC athlete to
earn that distinction in any sport, male or female. Her #12 uniform was retired
and she became the first female inducted into Chattanooga’s Basketball Hall of
Fame.
Since surviving cancer,
Karen's positive message, strong stage presence, and entertaining style have
landed her on numerous stages. Her
ability to bring humor and inspiration to difficult topics has made her a
sought-after keynote speaker for a variety of audiences, including survivor
events, women’s health conferences, commencement addresses and many more. Karen
recently performed at The Grand Ole Opry for their annual "Opry Goes
Pink" along with Carrie Underwood, Colbie Caillat and many other legendary
performers.
