A Life Driven by Curiosity
By Sonya Mancauskas
When you first meet Curtis Koren, you would not assume she has lived the life she has. We sat drinking chai tea in her kitchen, her wearing a Fat Toad Farm t-shirt and blue butterfly earrings, as she told me about her life.
Koren radiates warmth as she talks. Her energy is infectious and her words captivating. Koren does not, however, love talking about herself; for her, conversation is a way to learn and understand others.
