Karen Rocznik
Reporter/Producer/Digital Content Writer
I'm a Canadian/American dual citizen currently living in Denver, Colorado. Most recently, I was a Senior Producer at Daily Blast Live where I oversaw the Trending Block of the show. I have also spent time as a Correspondent and Host at Colorado & Company, and was a Consumer News contributor for 9News KUSA in Denver.
In Canada, I was Manitoba's only dedicated Consumer Reporter for CTV News Winnipeg. I was also a Reporter and Editor for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Internationally, I worked as a Sub-Editor at the Bangkok Post newspaper and was the Editor for Metro Magazine in Bangkok. I have also worked for marketing and social media advertising firms in Los Angeles and have written for Mental Floss, CBC.ca and GOBankingRates.com.
As an avid traveler, I've explored the U.S., Canada, Australia, Europe, Cuba, Costa Rica and Southeast Asia, where I lived for 5 years.
