Meet Your Destination Leader

Karen Hart

I am a junior and am majoring in both Sociology and Criminal Justice and minoring in both ethics and music. I grew up on a farm in Eastern Iowa with my four siblings.

I love being a part of Tri-Delta, intramurals, Simpson security and choir here at Simpson. I also love people, music, animals, politics, the environment, food and running.

I eventually want to work in the criminal justice system, but first would like to join the Peace Corps and see the world.
