Karen is the CEO and Co-Founder of Bushido Billing! She began her career with degrees in Zoology, Psychology, and Chemistry before earning her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College in 2009 at just 23 years old — the youngest doctor to graduate at the time. After a short associate position, she opened her own practice in Morton, IL at age 24, later earning a Fellowship in Acupuncture, becoming a Certified Medical Examiner for the National Registry, and achieving certification in Animal Chiropractic as one of only 32 doctors in Illinois.
For over a decade, Karen has run a thriving mixed practice that includes human chiropractic care, animal chiropractic, acupuncture, and hundreds of DOT physicals each year. Her firsthand experience with poor billing companies — and watching her colleagues suffer from the same issues — led her and Jeff to start Bushido Billing in 2021 with a simple belief: we can do this better.
Guided by honesty, strong communication, and a commitment to helping others rise, Karen excels at fixing broken systems and creating more efficient ways of working through automations, spreadsheets, and smart processes. She loves watching Bushido’s culture evolve and grow, comparing it to watching a child develop into something beyond what she ever imagined.
Outside of work, Karen is a dedicated sports fan who winds down by watching the Chicago Bears, Chicago Cubs, Ohio State Buckeyes, or the Vancouver Canucks. She loves traveling, being outdoors near any body of water, and spending time with her dogs, Hercules and Apollo — who often accompany her to the office. On quiet days, she enjoys cards, volleyball, and cozy nights on the couch.
