About Me: Karen Daley
I have been teaching at Hopewell Academy since the 2011-2012 school year. I have enjoyed the many students, activities, and the community at Hopewell. I have taught Middle School and High School History, Middle School Language Arts, Journalism, and Art at Hopewell Academy.
I began my teaching career in California after I graduated Santa Clara University. My husband and I then relocated to Portland Oregon, where I continued teaching and where our 3 daughters were born. We moved to the triangle 14 years ago and absolutely love it!!! In addition to teaching, I am also an artist and freelance writer. I have painted murals and canvas, specializing in children's rooms and bright, colorful art. I also write for local magazines on topics that include travel and family life.
In my free time, I love being with my girls. We like to shop and watch movies. We love going to the beach. I also like to run for exercise. I have completed 4 half marathons in the last few years. Like most people, I love to travel and go to places I have never been. One of my favorite things as well, is to get lost in a good book. I love reading historical fiction. I read every night and I am always searching for a really great book. If you have a suggestion, send it my way. ;)
