NOT CASTING RELATED!!

I posted several months ago making it clear that I no longer work in casting or entertainment at all. Yet somehow got several hundred new followers here 😂

So ok, I figured why not at least share information on what I AM doing now (for the past 8 years or so)!

My firm is hosting 2 free webinars this week to talk about two things. Will last about an hour.

1. Valuable financial education, the kind of things we should have learned and didn’t. You don’t need to be a “starving artist” to be an artist.

2. Our company’s expansion, and the potential to work with us remotely and part time. Perhaps a great way to make additional income as you pursue your creative goals and dreams?

There are 2 days and times, and I’ll include both registration links below. Click on the link to sign up and make sure you say that Karina Walters invited you so I know! (Email only used to send the zoom link out, you’re not opting in to any kind of mailing list)

Thursday, Jan 29 at 6 pm PST
Saturday, Jan 21 at 9 am PST

It’s been years since I’ve even come to this page and today I decided I should probably just delete it. But I’m going to post this notice and wait a few days in case anyone sees this and wants to know where to find me.

You’re welcome to follow me on Instagram at if you’d like.

But to be clear, I am no longer actively casting anything. After 15 years, I did a slow pivot from entertainment to finance in 2018 and 2019 and have been focusing full time on my financial business since 2020.

That said, reach out on IG if you are interested in FREE financial education and/or a free financial plan. I’m licensed in 18 states and have 8 years of experience now, but obviously with an understanding (that most traditional advisors do not have) of the fluctuating, creative freelance income and lifestyle that actors and others in entertainment are faced with.

Also reach out if you or anyone you know is curious about making additional income that can be done remote on a part-time or flex-time basis. I’m expanding and looking for sharp, trustworthy people, and it’s worth a conversation to see if it might be a good, mutual fit!

ATTENTION ACTORS!!
Tonight, Tuesday 3/2, at 7:30 pm PST

Join Jenni Melear and Mike Nelson as they talk about booking commercials, on Clubhouse.

I've been in, and heard about, lots of rooms on Clubhouse with advice for actors that are NOT trustworthy. "Actors" and "agents" and "casting directors" selling something but with little to no experience. Jenni and Mike are constantly working in commercials (and elsewhere) are are trustworthy, outstanding humans. And they are chatting with a legit agent (Jennifer York from DPN) and commercial casting director (Edward Flores from Elevator Casting).

Many of you following me know me as a casting director. Did you know I am also a licensed financial professional? Join me Wednesday 10/7 from 12-1 pm for a FREE webinar that will cover a wide variety of topics, including budgeting and cash flow, making your money grow, minimizing taxes, managing risk, getting out of debt and protecting your family.

How will you ever achieve your goals if you are not clear on what they are and what it will take to reach them? Start here. Start by leaning the fundamentals of how money works, then take steps to improve your finances, even if those steps are baby steps. Don’t say it’s not a “good time”... it’s never a good time. But at least figuring out a plan, even if you can’t implement it yet, will get you closer than sitting on your hands waiting for things to magically change. What have you got to lose by learning?

DM to RSVP and for Zoom link.
