Rodberg worked as a Medical Technologist for many years, starting in Minnesota before coming to her senses and moving to California.  She began working with a small private hospital in Glendale for 11 years as the Supervisor of the Blood Bank department and performed a wide variety of tasks, from benchwork, to writing procedures and drawing autologous blood donors; but the work that she enjoyed the most was antibody identification.  She followed that path and took a job at the American Red Cross in the Immunohematology Reference Lab in 1987, and never looked back. Ms. Rodberg had the privilege to work with Dr. George Garratty for many years, and with Pat Arndt, and Gina Leger.  Karen states, “all of them have taught me so much, but the best teacher has been experience.  I’ve had the good fortune to see some very interesting cases in our Reference Lab, many due to the reputations of my predecessors.”
