About Me

Karen Droisen helps students navigate the full college search, from finding best-fit schools to choosing where to enroll once acceptances arrive. Born and raised in and around New York City, she earned her BA in English from Barnard College, Columbia University, then an MA and PhD in English literature from the University of Virginia, going on to join UNLV as a tenure-track assistant professor of English.

Karen's students have been admitted to schools including Penn State, Rhodes College, Elon, the University of North Carolina, and UMass Amherst. In her spare time, she enjoys gardening, museums, cooking, podcasts, and time outdoors with her family.
