Since developing a serious interest in singing in 1999, Karen has performed regularly at a number of local clubs over the last few years, and has developed a large and dedicated following. Often in demand for private engagements, Karen was the featured performer at the 10th Annual Greater Ottawa Chamber of Commerce Business Achievement Awards Gala in November 2003, and performed in December 2003 at the invitation of local singing legend Dick Maloney in a Christmas concert at Centrepointe Theatre. In 2002, Karen realized a major goal in her singing career when she was hired to perform at the Ottawa International Jazz Festival.
Noted jazz historian Ron Sweetman describes Karen's singing as having "real feeling and a subtle swing in a deep, rich voice."
"The Monterey Inn had everything we needed to host our regional sales conference. Organizing the event was made so much easier with the professional staff there to help with every detail."
