About Karen

Karen has been performing on stage and screen since the age of 16. Along the way, she has found time to obtain a degree in archaeology, and to work in a selection of bars, shops and offices while building up experience in a wide variety of stage and broadcast roles.

Karen has featured in an impressive array of short films including In the Snack Bar, The Ambitious Potato, Stramash, Goldfish and Twelve, all of which were filmed in Scotland, and also appeared as Sadie Carter in Monarch of the Glen. She is also building a reputation as a voice-over artiste of charm and versatility both on radio and TV.

Karen's stage credits have been wide and varied in recent years, including performances as Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion, Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing, Viola in Twelfth Night, Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire and Beth in Janet Paisley’s The Refuge. Most recently, Karen originated the role of Jane in No Time Has Passed In Hippoland with Sonic Boom Productions. Karen also performs as a member of Q Fusion Improv, as part of the sketch comedy shows Man vs. Woman and Alchemy and in her spare time Karen is quite literally a singer in a band with classic rock'n'roll party band The Sentinels.
