Karen Venables joined Pindrop Hearing in September 2013 as Manager at our Avenida clinic. Karen comes to us after 24 years with Alberta Health Services. Her extensive exposure to patient health has been a definite asset to her in understanding clinic patients and their hearing needs. Karen spends much of her free time on the DEVIN Foundation which she established in memory of her 18- year old son Devin who died from “ONE” punch after an altercation that he attempted to walk away from. Since she started the foundation she has spoken across our city and province to youth about Devin’s story and how one decision can affect so many lives. Recently Karen and her husband Brian have become “empty nester’s” when their son Jordan moved away from home.
