Heidi Kovacs

Heidi was born and raised in Utah with her five siblings and is the Executive Secretary at Common Thread. She has always loved helping people in any way she can, but as she’s grown older and branched out, she has become more aware of the great need in many communities around her.

​

In 2021, Heidi began volunteering at a health clinic in Murray that served individuals living in poverty and without health insurance, as preparation for a humanitarian trip to Peru. After her time at the clinic and the trip, she made it a goal to give back to her community however she could.

​

Heidi is in her final year of college, studying Psychology at the University of Utah. Through her studies, she discovered a passion for understanding trauma and found joy in sharing what she learns with others. After graduating and taking some time away from school, her goal is to pursue a Master’s degree in Psychology and become a trauma therapist for teens. She also hopes to one day open a foundation similar to Common Thread wherever she decides to settle, allowing her to continue the great work being done here.
