Meet our 2026 Interns!

 

Sophia

Hi! My name is Sophia, and I’m a rising senior at Trumbull High School. As someone who is very passionate about mental health, I joined MyFriendAbby because I wanted to be part of an organization making a difference. I hope to use my voice to break the stigma surrounding mental health, spread awareness, and help create an environment where people feel supported. I’m grateful to be part of MFA and to contribute to something I care deeply about. In college, I hope to study business, with interests in marketing and finance, while staying involved in mental health advocacy and supporting others.

Sara

Hi everyone, my name is Sara and I am a rising senior at Trumbull High School. I joined MFA because of my personal experience with mental health challenges in my family, which sparked my interest in learning more about mental health and supporting others. Through MFA, I’ve learned so much about mental heath awareness and advocacy, and I hope to continue with pursuing psychology in college!
