Karon is a graduate of the University of Sydney. After completing an internship (Sydney) and residency in large animal internal medicine (North Carolina, USA) she became fascinated by the then newly emerging non-invasive test called Diagnostic Ultrasound. She returned to the University of Sydney pat-time to complete both a Masters Degree and a PhD in Diagnostic Ultrasound, whilst still scanning and working in general practice.

Since 1993, Karon has worked exclusively in veterinary diagnostic ultrasound on many animal species, and as Adjunct Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney. Some of the animals Karon has scanned include domestic cats, dogs, horses, cattle, alpacas, sheep, ostriches, marsupials, various reptiles, zoo animals eg. tigers, leopards, lion, bears, seals, tapirs, chimpanzees, orangutans (and the occasional odd veterinarian). Karon has been involved in both teaching and research of Veterinary Ultrasonographic Diagnostic Imaging, is the author of over 30 scientific publications and currently is a veterinary diagnostic ultrasound consultant for small animal and equine specialists and practitioners.
