Karen is a pharmacist and recently earned her MBA. Her career started in hospital pharmacy (West Penn Hospital,) though she changed direction several times from home infusion to specialty pharmacy.

Karen has never worked in a retail store like Walgreen’s or CVS, which is what most people know of pharmacists.

Currently, she is a Business Product Owner for an Agile software project. She is responsible for ideation and ownership of the vision and business capabilities of a new pharmacy operating system for a specialty pharmacy.
