Karin is highly respected in her field. Her dedication and energy is inspiring to everyone within her sphere of influence. While Karin is already an expert, she continues to explore new avenues of research and apply this information towards improving her skills and passing this on to those around her. One of the greatest joys of being an educator is experiencing a student grow and surpass the teacher. I applaud Karin's continued growth and have watched with admiration, over the years, as she applies her knowledge and skills with enthusiasm and seemingly tireless effort.
