To this end, her knowledge has seen her present several short documentaries for the Discovery Channel, as well as starring in BBC production Food Of Love, which also explored Karin’s vegan lifestyle.

The biggest testament to both the bubbly actress’s determination and passion for her vegan politics was the founding of her very own internet TV station ­ www.veggievision.co.uk.

An ambitious project, the TV channel not only showcases Karin’s engaging presenting style, but her ability to pull together an interactive magazine with celebrity vegetarian interviews, vegan cooking and topical news items ­ compelling viewing even for non-vegetarians.

Karin’s exhausting list of credentials are not only limited to film and TV.
The vivacious brunette also co ran a successful theatre company, Third Edge, and presented and produced shows for local radio station Phoenix FM.

Her confident, outgoing nature has also seen Karin her dip her toes into the competitive world of public relations.
