For the last 25 years Karen Cornell has been in the role of Customer Service Representative/Agent at Desert View Insurance.  Karen started her career in high school as a legal secretary; which turned into twenty-years of working as a paralegal and office manager at various law firms in the Valley.  

Karen left the field of law to raise a family and took on a variety of positions in her church and in her children’s schools and extra-curricular activities.  Once her children were older and more independent, the transition into the insurance industry was an exciting and challenging opportunity.  

Karen focuses on meeting the service needs of our DVI customers and is proud to work with high-rated carriers such as Auto-Owners.  Outside of the office Karen enjoys hiking, movies, reading, and spending time with her family.
