Keynote Thursday June 12, 2014 9am

Dr. Karen Winters Schwartz


Karen Winters Schwartz was born and raised in Mansfield, Ohio. She wrote her first truly good story at age seven. Her second-grade teacher, Mrs. Schneider, publicly and falsely accused her of plagiarism. She did not write again for forty years.
In-between, she moved to Columbus, Ohio, where she spent thirteen years of her life pursuing a seemingly endless education at Ohio State University. She received her undergraduate degree in microbiology, her Master of Science in Immunology, and a Doctorate in Optometry. Winters Schwartz met her future husband, Paul, at a student optometric conference in Chicago. They were both slightly drunk and it was love at first sight. They married in 1987, moved to Central New York, and bought a house on the shores of Otisco Lake — the “pinky finger” of the Finger Lakes. There they began their lives together, their careers as optometrists, and raised two daughters, who are off to change the world — hopefully in a good way.
Winters Schwartz is an active board member of NAMI Syracuse (National Alliance on Mental Illness) and an advocate for mental illness awareness. This is her second novel and follow-up to her widely successful debut. Where Are the Cocoa Puffs?

Following completion of a Pre-Doctoral Internship at the Denver VA Medical Center Eastern Colorado Health Services Center, and a Post Doctoral Fellowship at the Denver VA Medical Center Mental Illness, Research, Education and Clinical Center (MIRECC), Dr. Bahraini became a licensed Psychologist in the state of Colorado.

Finally, Dr. Bahraini shares her experience through a local academic appointment, as Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry. Areas of specialty are: Traumatic brain injury, posttraumatic stress disorder and other co-morbid psychiatric conditions that affect outcomes for returning Veterans.
