Please share a little bit about your background and what led you to Goodwin College. I always wanted to attend
college, but as the only parent of two children, I had to put their needs
first. My then 16-year-old son pointed out to me that I had always stressed
the need for a college education. When I went with my daughter to her
admission appointment at Goodwin (she is in the pre-nursing program at
Goodwin), she reminded me of my desire to get a college education and told
me that this was an opportune time for me to achieve my lifelong desire. My experience at Goodwin was better than awesome because of the professors I had the good fortune to have and learn from and the students with whom I shared classes. What is your favorite quote? "I can be changed by what
happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it." What inspires you most? The more my windows are
opened into the education world, the more I want. I want to learn everything
I can about everything! Right now I’m working on my
bachelor’s and plan to pursue both master’s and doctorate degrees. I plan to
continue advocating for women who are victims of domestic violence; maybe be
invited back to teach some courses on domestic violence at Goodwin when the
Human Services Dept. expands to four years; and writing an inspirational
book. My role models are every person who overcame some of life’s toughest adversities and made something positive of their lives. Karen graduates from Goodwin College on Sunday, June 13.
