This month the MRCE welcomes Kristen Duda to our team. Kristen is a Masters Degree student at the University of Michigan School of Social Work with a major in Community Organization. She comes to us from northern Virginia where she was born and raised and graduated Cum Laude with a double major in Psychology and Sociology from Virginia Tech University. Already Kristen has had the opportunity to meet a number of mental health consumers and advocates who are working diligently to transform the Michigan mental health system. She is eager to jump into the fray and make her unique constribution to this effort.
"I am excited for the opportunity to work with consumer leaders and others to transform the mental health system. I look forward to gaining the skills and knowledge necessary to create lasting change."
Kristen will be placed with the MRCE through December of 2009. Please join us in welcoming her to our team.
