During her nine years of working in the accounting industry, the first three years were as an intern while attending college. Under the direction of a tax attorney, she completed her first two seasons of tax work at a small Chicago firm before moving into an in-house accounting position for a global medical company. This allowed Karen to pursue her Law Degree, while maintaining a full-time accounting position. Nearing the end of her Juris Doctorate Candidacy at John Marshall Law School, Karen looked to re-enter the public accounting field. Karen has completed her work at the Law School.
