Karen La Cava - Vegan Realtor
Karen has been a “foodie” since childhood. Growing up in NY surrounded by exotic restaurants had a huge impact. She always loved creating new flavor combos from a young age, and always gravitated towards non-meat involved foods. So much, that she stopped eating all meat around 1985, and then became a full on vegan in 1990.
Karen has worked in the catering & restaurant industries since 1984, and continues to work catering when her real estate career allows it. The catering company is owned and run by her Uncle Scot.
