Mental Health & wellness liason

Biography

My name is Fran, and I'm so excited to be the new Mental Health and Wellness Liason! I have personally benefitted greatly from CMC's mental health resources and wellness tools, and I cannot wait to help others do the same. Some other activities I have around campus include women's club rugby, Fawcett RA, Roberts Environmental Center EcoRep; I also work on our CMC community garden. In my free time, I enjoy listening to my record player, indulging in different crafts, taking naps, playing Mario Kart, and reading books outside.
