Karen Hasterok, MPA & Nonprofit Management Graduate Certificate (NPM) ‘24, obtained her undergraduate degree in English and Psychology from Muhlenberg College. After a long stint in corporate America on Wall Street and later in the law, Karen realized she wanted a change. She first completed Encore Connecticut with an internship at an LGBTQ+ community center which turned into a full time consulting position there. Not quite ready to stop being a student, she began the NPM and later joined the MPA Fellows. After graduation (and recovery from breast cancer), Karen hopes to begin her job search and land a position with a nonprofit. Karen is currently the President of the Junior League of Greenwich.
