Brittany Karzen has expertly navigated the intersection of public policy and communication for nearly two decades in both the public and private sectors on several issues including energy, the environment, public health, underserved communities, law enforcement, and victim rights.

​

Moved by the events of 2020, Brittany joined the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office in the Fall of 2020 committed to bridging the gap between law enforcement and the community. She is making this happen by working to expand access to mental health services, secure resources for victims of domestic violence, support at-risk youth through inter-agency collaborations, develop strategic homelessness interventions, support officer wellness initiatives, and more.

Brittany is an innovative problem solver and committed coalition builder. Her career has given her unique insight into public policy matters through her work with the Utah Department of Health, Salt County Sheriff's Office, R&R Partners, and Edison International. Her ability to listen and willingness to step outside her comfort zone has made her a passionate advocate for an array of community-based organizations that help victims of domestic and sexual violence, immigrants, and underserved communities.

A proud South Salt Lake resident, Brittany has called Utah home for nearly 10 years. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy from Southern Virginia University and a Master of Arts in mass communication from Brigham Young University.
