Karen has been a labor and delivery nurse for 18 years which led her to the calling of Nurse-Midwifery. She is excited for this opportunity to serve the Rocky Mount community as a full scope Midwife at Nash/OBGYN. Her family consists of her significant other, a local real estate professional, who is equally excited to get back in the area, his two sons, and her 3 children. They also have a miniature schnauzer, Leia, and a recently adopted kitten named Venus. Karen joined Nash Ob-Gyn in July 2023. 

​

Karen sees obstetric and gynecologic patients in the office. She also assists our physicians on call at Nash Women’s Center on a rotating schedule. She does not have any assigned primary obstetric patients; all obstetric patients must have a physician primary.
