Get to know people involved with #CommunitiesThatCare! Here's a Q&A with Heidi Cooney Q:TELL US ABOUT YOUR INVOLVEMENT WITH CTC. A: I initially became involved with CTC through the Smart Generation trial in 2013. I was mostly involved in survey delivery back then, but now I am more heavily involved in the implementation of the Smart Generation program in the schools alongside survey delivery. So I guess I see my involvement with CTC as assisting with school engagement and service delivery. Q: OTHER INTERESTS. A: I play basketball, sing in a women’s choir and love making mosaics (a very grounding hobby). Q: FUN FACT! A: When I was 7 years old I lived in Costa Rica for 5 years!
