biography

Karalena Smith

Client Service Associate

After spending nearly a decade in the childcare and marketing fields, Karalena decided to take her skills to the financial planning industry.  

She wanted to apply her care and passion to a role where she could have a positive impact on people’s lives.

The Briarwood team welcomed Karalena in 2021 as a Marketing Coordinator. She has since moved on to become a Client Service Associate. Karalena helps the firm manage client relationships and is an expert at engaging with the communities that Briarwood has impacted.

Karalena is a native to Washington State and is a wife and proud mom to three children.

When she’s not engaging with the community, you can find her on a beautiful mountain trail, since she’s an avid hiker (she averaged an incredible 1 hike per week in 2019).

“In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.”
John Muir, Environmentalist, Philosopher, Adventurer
