During her stint at Miss Intercontinental 2018, Karen impressed the judges and audience with her intelligent answer, she was asked, "How do you define success?", to which she answered: “For me, success is not just about winning in life but setting goals, smaller goals, and achieving your dreams and working hard for everything you want, and always looking up to God and being thankful for everything. For me, that is success.” This answer not only made her win the title but also helped her to create a history.

Congratulations to the diva on such a wonderful news!
