About Karen

Started with my father, through my reputation of that I started getting offers and finally went to work for an agency. After my first patient passed (7years later) I returned to Greenville Tec to become certified so I could do the very best for my patients. The smiles and thanks are worth it all. One of my proudest days has to do with Alzheimer's. After finally getting this darling lady to knit instead of other things with her hands, I received a beautiful scarf and it is framed for my remembrance to always do above and beyond. I am single but I have a 24, yes, 24 year old Sheppard named Tootsie saved from the river at 1 pound.She is the love of my life.
