Meet Kara

Kara Gravert is a RISE AmeriCorps Member serving with EMBARC in Waterloo.

Kara is a graduate student at Iowa State University studying cultural anthropology and geographic information sciences. She has spent most of her life in eastern Iowa. 

“I learned about the RISE AmeriCorps program at the university and quickly applied in hopes that I would learn more about the resettlement process here in Iowa.”

 For fun she likes to ride her bike, cook, and read.
