Karin is a school choice parent and advocate who writes
about charter schools in various publications. Her national
articles as the “Charter Schools Examiner” in the
Examiner have a steady readership of thousands every
month. Karin has been published by EdNews Colorado
(Schools of Tomorrow Blog), Denver Post (Your Hub and
Mile High Mamas), and Colorado Parent Magazine.
Having gone through a parent’s journey of finding most
suitable schooling for her own three children, Karin is an
education choice expert who talks the talk while walking
the walk. She understands the schooling issues facing
parents today, and her personal experience and
exploration of academic variety makes her a dynamic
contributor to both families and organizations.
Identifying the increasing demand among families for
information about public charter schools Karin thoroughly
researched and developed effective communications tools
on the topic. When realizing the lack of literary offerings
for parents on the topic of charter schools, she promptly
filled the need by becoming a first time author. Her first
book CHARTER SCHOOLS: The Ultimate Handbook for
Parents, debuted as number 18 in its category on
Amazon’s Hot New Releases List and snagged an award
as a finalist for USA News Best Books in family and
parenting for 2009.
Karin has a personal interest and passion for education
hence continuously educates herself in this evolving field.
She networks with some of the finest school choice
organizations in the nation, and has built relationships
with community members and schools, to lawmakers and
national education profiles. Her philanthropic dedication
involves multiple programs that touch children and
literacy, including public libraries and schools.
In addition to her speaking and writing, Karin serves as a
board member at a local charter school and on a district
grant committee.
Karin has been featured on WSRadio, West Virginia
Charter School Blog, CSMI’s Roll Call—and look for her
upcoming TV appearance on Douglas County Television.
