Heather A. Sheppard

Watching her own mother struggle from a young age, Heather vowed to become a force for change in mental health. She could do this at NJCU, which immediately felt like home to her. Heather finds constant inspiration in her colleagues on campus and the professors who help push her further. “Enter to learn, exit to serve” is a motto Heather plans to carry on into her career – she aspires to open a center for mental, physical and spiritual healing.
