On how she started her refereeing career, Karen told Concacaf: “One day, while working on a coffee shop of a Little Sports Center, the designated referee did not arrive for the game. The league’s administrator asked me if I wanted to referee the match and I said yes. I liked and enjoyed the experience, I was paid for doing something that I was enjoying a lot. From that moment on, they assigned me more games every week and with the money earned, I was able to pay for college.”

She is passionate about refereeing because “I love football. This is a profession that makes you fall more and more in love every day as each day you can face a new challenge. It is a fantastic experience that involves all your senses in each game.”
