Heidi Kovacs

Heidi grew up in Northern Utah with her five siblings, and has a B.S. in Psychology and a Certificate of Applied Positive Psychology. Though she has since graduated, she continues to expand her knowledge of the field through informal studies of Trauma Psychology, specifically the impacts of narcissism and emotional/psychological abuse, Child Development, and healthy relationships.

​

In 2021, Heidi began volunteering at a health clinic in Murray that offered medical services to individuals impacted by poverty. After her time at the clinic, she had the honor of spending two weeks with the amazing humans in the village of Nuevo San Juan, Peru. She spent her time doing construction work, teaching kids, playing soccer, and listening to the life stories of those in the village. Through that trip and her time at the clinic, she realized how many people are impacted by harsh circumstances, creating a lot of vulnerability and need for support. She made it a priority to give back in any capacity she had. 

​

Heidi started with Common Thread as an intern, and hit the ground running through supporting events, the team, and the amazing teens. Eventually, she was able to develop into the role of the Executive Assistant, and has had the honor to work closely with many team members as Common Thread grows to serve more teens. 

​

Outside of Common Thread, Heidi enjoys playing games with her siblings, going on nature adventures with her husband and three step-kids, cuddling her three puppies, baking, and doing various puzzle activities.
