An industry veteran with more than 30 years of experience, Karen began her career as an accountant for three years and then as an analyst for Brown Brothers Harriman. She later joined the Bank of New York as a credit analyst, followed by a role at UBS Securities where she jointly managed a $2 billion loan portfolio, and later became a sell-side corporate bond analyst. Her next role was as a VP/corporate bond analyst with Emigrant Savings Bank where she was responsible for high-yield and high-grade bonds. Karen then served as senior high yield analyst at a high yield hedge fund, and most recently was an SVP in a wealth management firm where she began working with families and honed her skills in financial and estate planning, insurance, and corporate benefits, and developed a loyal following of high-net-worth clients.

Karen serves a range of clients including young families, high-net-worth families, financially savvy executives, athletes, and independent and divorced women. Karen’s primary mission while working with clients who have opened their lives to her is to keep their best interest and the best interest of their families, in mind. She prides herself on doing what it takes to help her clients achieve their financial goals, and taps into her vast network to orchestrate solutions.

Karen earned her MBA in finance from NYU’s Stern School of Business and received her undergraduate degree in accounting from the State University of New York at Binghamton.
