Challenged constantly to keep up with the demands of PETA’s rapid growth, Karen never compromises her high standards. Her experience and innovative approaches have increased our effectiveness in all phases of our work, from our grassroots campaigns to our humane education materials.

“I’m very proud of PETA’s library,” she says. “When I came to PETA in 1986, the library consisted of a small bookshelf, a few disorganized filing cabinets, and some boxes of magazines—all sitting in the hallway. Now it’s a major resource for animal activists worldwide.”

Karen also takes great pride in PETA’s published materials and is committed to ensuring not only that they are error-free, but also that they consistently demonstrate the highest levels of clarity of expression and quality of presentation.

Karen shares her home and her heart with her two canine “angels,” Sunny and Dexter.
