Professional Background
Before entering the financial services industry, Karen spent over 20 years in the entertainment industry, holding senior Human Resources roles at major studios and media companies including Fox, Warner Bros., Paramount, and USA Broadcasting. Throughout her corporate career, she guided employees through complex workplace transitions, restructurings, and organizational change.

Approach to Financial Planning
In 2014, Karen was introduced to the financial and insurance industry and quickly found her calling. She built her independent practice at Taylor and Associates on trust, transparency, and personalized planning—values shaped by both her HR background and her firsthand understanding of life's unexpected challenges. As a licensed and highly trained agent, certified with top insurance and financial carriers, Karen works closely with each client to understand their goals, concerns, and life stage before recommending solutions.

Areas of Expertise
Her areas of focus include life and health insurance, annuities designed to provide guaranteed lifetime income, retirement planning strategies, estate planning support, and Medicare guidance for California residents transitioning from employer-sponsored coverage. Karen is especially passionate about helping clients prepare for retirement with clarity and confidence, ensuring they understand their options and feel empowered to make informed decisions.

Community Involvement
Outside of her professional work, Karen is a proud mother of two adult children. Her son is an educator and football and basketball coach, and through her love of college football, Karen has become actively involved with networks of educators and coaches focused on improving financial education and awareness—particularly for young athletes. She has also had the privilege of assisting rookie NFL players, as well as emerging actors and actresses, as they begin building strong financial foundations early in their careers.
