Originally from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Dr. Karin was born and raised on a sustainable homestead, and without modern amenities, learned how to provide and survive through gardening, hunting, and fishing, which created a lifelong relationship and deep respect with nature. She received her undergraduate degree in biomedical science from Grand Valley State University, where she excelled as a student-athlete. After her collegiate experience and witnessing the traumatic unfolding of 9/11, Karin was called to serve in the military as a Naval aviator and deployed to Afghanistan in support of OEF in 2010.
