Karen, was born in Tecate Baja California on August 19, from a very young age she went to live in Mexicali Baja California with her parents and her three siblings. Since she was a little girl she liked to play teacher and all day long she was practicing with her dolls or her younger sister.

As she grew up she studied in catholic schools and studied at the Montessori University for four years, she started working at the age of 18 in a kindergarten, where she lived the best experiences with young children, where the philosophy was to learn by playing. She got married at the age of 25 and decided to leave that school to move to California, where she worked helping her father in a construction company for a short time.

She missed her profession very much and decided to take care of young children and give pandemic counseling to girls from 3 to 5 years old.

Currently she came to live with her daughters Maria Lua, 6 years old, and Tessa Maria, 2 years old, in Chandler, Arizona.

At this moment she is very happy to start a new stage in her life in a different city and to form new experiences and great learning for her daughters.

Her favorite hobbies are reading and making crafts.
