Kari Schmidt works for the Utah Department of Health as the Tobacco Prevention and Control Program manager, and has been with SMART from its beginning.
An avid baseball fan, Kari can be found at the baseball park with her family when weather permits. If the weather is not cooperative, she might spend her time watching a favorite baseball movie, like Field of Dreams or The Natural.
Baseball isn't the only sport Kari loves. She enjoys being out of doors, hiking, boating, biking, and playing volleyball or basketball.
Kari also loves to travel, and says the most interesting place she's been is Pompeii, Italy. One of her greatest accomplishments was to overcome her shyness and join a study abroad group in college. She went to Paris, France, where she had long dreamed of visiting, and it didn't disappoint--she's been back three times since! She speaks just enough French to get by. In the future, Kari would love to visit the pyramids in Egypt.
Anyone needing decorating advice can feel free to ask Kari--she enjoys interior design and regularly helps friends and family out.
Recently Kari read The Hiding Place, by Corrie TenBoom. She said it was great, although it isn't "the happiest of stories."
Kari is the proud aunt of three, and she herself is the oldest of three children. Her brother plays (you guessed it) baseball for The College of Eastern Utah.
Kari grew up in Orem, but recently purchased her own home and now lives in Pleasant Grove. She attended BYU, earning a B.S. in Community Health, which she puts to good use in her work. She has a passion for helping people, and hopes that together we can make our community a safer, healthier place to live.
