She later joined the faculty of Air University in Montgomery, Alabama, where she developed graduate curricula in cyber and information warfare as Dean of the Air Force Cyber College.Karen now researches cyber policy and strategy at the Army Cyber Institute and teaches national security in the Department of Social Sciences at West Point. She loves living near family in Brooklyn—although they are faster at Wordle than she is—and enjoys adventures with her dog in the Enchanted Forest near her home in a village on the Hudson River. She maintains strong ties with family, friends, and colleagues in Northern California.
