Education

While earning her master's degree, Karinch taught briefly at Tabor Academy in Marion, Massachusetts before becoming managing director of the New Playwrights' Theater in Washington, DC. She then served as Development Officer for Capital Children's Museum (now National Children's Museum). For seven years, she was Director of Communications for the Computer and Business Equipment Industry Association (now Information Technology Industry Council), and then headed public relations activities for the Federal Systems Group of Apple, Inc.[3] In 1993, she launched a communications consulting business and began publishing books in 1994. As of December 2015 she has 24 commercially published works to her credit and, in addition, she has ghost written several books. In 2003 she founded the Rudy Agency,[4] a literary agency specializing in works of non fiction.
Athletics
Karinch held top ranking in intercollegiate gymnastics in the Washington DC area from fall 1971 to spring 1973.[5][6] In 1985, she became a certified scuba diver. From 1986 to 1988, she competed in National Physique Committee (NPC) bodybuilding events one the East Coast. In 1988 she began skydiving, earning her Advanced License the following year.[7]
In 1995, she was part of a five-person team that completed the first Eco-Challenge, a 376-mile adventure race staged in southern Utah. Of the fifty teams that began the grueling ten-day event, only twenty-one officially finished the race.[8][9] In 1998, she earned the status of Certified Personal Trainer with the American Council on Exercise, an accreditation she continues to carry.[10]
