“Seeing a light go off in the eyes of a student when he or she sees it is possible to capture and communicate with ease by using technology creatively and gracefully is a goal I set for myself whenever I work with young people and digital applications.”
Karen, often called by her nickname K2, is a Digital Arts Elective teacher at Town School for Boys in San Francisco and a returning TWA Faculty-in-Residence from 2009 when she conducted a Creative Computing Workshop for LEAP students and faculty. As well, she worked on several filmmaking projects including documentary work with another TWA Fellow for Realistic, a local community youth rehabilitation program. Karen has also been working with Leap alumni in South Africa and in San Francisco in multimedia arts training with an eye on further development and integration of technology arts programs at Leap. Teaching middle school boys for over 13 years, she teaches Digital Photography, Web Design, Desktop Publishing, Graphic Design, Animation, Video Production, and Sound Recording and Podcasting Arts. A Broadcasting major from San Francisco State University, she toured the world with many jazz and rock artists including Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Hall and Oates, Cyndi Lauper, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Chris Isaak, Carlos Santana and others as a tour manager, live sound mixing and recording engineer/producer. She has worked as a curriculum consultant for teachers and schools and has tutored individuals in technology arts software.
