LEARN ABOUT KAREN
From dance to real estate
Born and raised in Wangaratta, Karen has always been deeply connected to the local community. After growing up involved in local sports such as netball, she went on to pursue her passion for the arts, earning a Diploma of Arts in Dance and founding her own dance school in Wangaratta.
After a rewarding career teaching dance to hundreds of local children, Karen made the decision to step away from the school she cherished to spend more time with her own children - Ethan, Claudia, and Jack. An unexpected opportunity in real estate then arose, and she entered the industry by chance.
CAREER PROGRESSION
Experience shaped by community
Over the past 12 years, Karen has progressed through Administration, Sales Support, and Property Management roles, building a wealth of experience across the industry. Her background as a business owner and educator shaped a professional approach grounded in communication, organisation, and genuine care for others. Deep involvement in the Wangaratta and Northeast community continues to influence how Karen operates her business, including volunteering with the Wangaratta Night Shelter - Zac’s Place.
