Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur

There are multiple notable authors/public figures named Karen Berman, so I want to avoid giving you the wrong biography. One is Karen Berman (June 1962–July 2013), the business-literacy expert, Business Literacy Institute cofounder, and coauthor of Financial Intelligence. Another is Dr. Karen Berman, the theatre scholar, former Georgia College chair, and co-editor of Stories of the Holocaust, who also has a current Substack presence. The “current newsletter reach” detail fits the second profile more naturally than the first. Which Karen Berman would you like me to write about?
