Karen is the weekday traffic and weather anchor for Action News Mornings. Weekdays 4:30-7am on 6abc.
Personal Information
Married to Kevin for 13 years with three children
Hometown: Washington Township, NJ
Education:
Washington Township High School
Rutgers University - B.A. in Communication and Sociology
Graduate Centre for Journalism Studies - University of Wales, U.K.
Rowan University - Public Relations
Mississippi State University - Certificate in Broadcast Meteorology
Personal Interests
Hobbies:
I use to be a pianist and played the piano for talent competitions at the Miss NJ pageant.
I have 3 young children and I have no hobbies except reading to them and playing dolls and trucks!!
I hope to get back to the piano when the youngest goes to school.
Charities:
I like to help out with many different organizations. I always try to visit local Rotary Clubs and help them raise money since I was a Rotary Scholar and they paid for my graduate education.
For over a decade now my husband and I have attended some events with Variety: The Children's Charity. We love to see the faces of kids when santa hands out presents at their Christmas party!
My favorite charity is the Child Assault Prevention Program. I use to work with them on a daily basis before I started at Channel 6. We would go into local schools and teach skills to help empower them to protect them from abuse and bullying. A lot of people don't realize this International program is based right in NJ!
I like country music - especially Sugarland, Carrie Underwood and Faith Hill.
I also like classical piano, and broadway shows.
I love to be outdoors and some of my favorite weekends are spent at the Jersey Shore or lakes around the region.
These days, the kids activities drive our schedule!

How she met her husband and got married
How Karen met Kevin
Kevin and I got married in the chapel at Rutgers University. Kevin was the first man I ever met in college! I was a freshman and Kev was a senior. We married about 8 years after that day. I often joke that I had simply planned to marry the first man I met at Rutgers. Kevin was my resident advisor, confidant and friend. I think it really was love at first sight. Every time I saw him in the dorm I turned a funny shade of purple. It was so embarrassing! It's amazing we ever got together, because after a while I just avoided him for fear of turning purple again!! We finally started dating just before Kevin graduated later that year. When I look at our three beautiful children, I feel that they are tangible signs that Kevin and I were indeed meant to be together.
Karen's Wedding Day: "I saved a bundle!"
My husband Kevin and I paid for our own college and wedding, so we were trying to cut costs. I found that using our friends' talents was a perfect way to save some money and make our wedding day even more special. A friend of mine happened to design and make bridal gowns out of her house. She was generous enough to make one for me as a wedding gift! I could have never afforded the beautiful gowns I tried on in the bridal shops and really didn't know what to do. I was so thrilled to have someone I know put such love and care into my gown. It means the world to me!
I also have a friend who likes to arrange flowers. Again, she does this on the side in her own home. She made my flower arrangements. I got married in a chapel at Rutgers University. The chapel is booked with weddings all day long! I tried to call the bride whose wedding was booked just before mine to see if we could share the flowers in the church. (She never returned my calls, but I think that's a good tip!)
We have very talented and musical friends from my old pageant days. Our friends Deborah Dalfonso and her husband Jim sang beautifully at the church. Our friend Caryn and her husband also sang and I think played the flute as people were entering the church.
Instead of hiring a videographer, a girlfriend's brother took a video and edited it right in the camera. Believe it or not, a friend of ours gave us a photographer for the day. She had booked him for a wedding, but she broke off the wedding and was mad she still had to pay the photographer. So, she just transferred the contract to us! That was another generous gift.
My sisters were my bridesmaids and my best friend, Monica, was my maid of honor. None of them wanted to wear those poofy, frilly, million dollar dresses. Instead, we went to Macy's One Day Sale. We managed to get every size we needed even though there were 6 of them! I think the dresses were under $35.00. They owe me big time for that!
Our invitations were beautiful. I ordered them from a discount magazine and my sister did the calligraphy to address them.
I saved money on everything I could because I really wanted to spend the money on a beautiful reception. Kevin's one of 7 and I'm one of 10 and we have a million first cousins - so it was big!! But, we booked it for Mother's Day Weekend and got a huge discount!
Looking back, it's amazing how many people pitched in to make our special day even more memorable - and certainly more affordable!

Looks like she has a Twitter account, you can always reach out to her via Twitter and see what she says. Who knows, you may get a little interview with her or speaker further on the phone???
