Michelle Heffez

Hello everyone, my name is Michelle and I just finished my first year of college! I am a psychology major and am very passionate about both mental health advocacy and Jewish advocacy. I want to work to make sure teens have access to all sorts of different mental health resources and have a community where they feel safe and understood. I love to do all sorts of projects and find myself to be very creative so I am thrilled to be able to implement this into my work. I’m so excited to work with HereNow this summer of 2023!
