Karen Youngs

As Vista’s experience manager, Karen is often the first face clients see when they visit the office. She also assists with planning events and shopping for company gifts. She’s thrilled to have a front-row seat as clients meet their advisory teams, some for the first time. It’s the perfect spot for Karen, who describes herself as the unofficial “fun-ancial” advisor for the firm.

Karen loves people, traveling, cooking, and spending time with her family. You can often find her dancing with her husband or being “Grandma Lovey” to her five grandchildren.

Something you may not know about Karen: She’s got mad cooking skills. When she was young, she traveled from Diamond Bar, California, to Texas every summer to visit her grandma, whose rolling pin — and recipes — she was lucky enough to inherit.
