My name is Karen Franklin and this is my 2nd year as Laurel Park's Receptionist.

I’ve been married for almost 22 years and have two children. My son, Brad, is in his 2nd year at Virginia Tech and my daughter, Hopie, is a junior at Apex High.

In my free time, I love going to the beach, reading, traveling and spending time with my family and friends. You'll also find me cheering on the Carolina Hurricanes and the Virginia Tech Hokies!
