Gratiot County Substance Abuse Coalition Coordinator 

My name is Sara Krebs and I am excited to be working on the Child Advocacy team as the Gratiot County Substance Abuse Coalition Coordinator. I was born and raised in Gratiot County and am now raising my family here. I am thrilled to be back working in my hometown, as my previous position took me out of Gratiot County.

I graduated from Alma High School in 2001 and received my Bachelors of Science Degree in Exercise and Health Science with a minor in Public Health at Alma College in 2005. I have spent the last decade helping others make healthy and sustainable changes. I started my career as an Exercise Physiologist in Cardiac Rehabilitation, and went on to develop a multidisciplinary Medical Weight Management Program helping patients throughout Central Michigan. My passion for helping others live a healthy life has continued to grow over the years and I am looking forward to making a positive impact in the county that I have always called home. I feel honored to be a member of the Child Advocacy Team and am eager to see what this new venture holds. 

Hello! My name is Morgan Rooy and I am the new Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Coordinator. I am beyond thrilled to be part of Child Advocacy once again, as I was an intern with the agency in 2010. That initial experience molded my career path into many fulfilling experiences and exciting opportunities.

After graduating from Central Michigan University with a degree in Family Studies and Psychology, I worked for Big Brothers Big Sisters as an Enrollment and Match Support Specialist, and the YWCA as a Parent Educator and Program Coordinator. Some of my favorite experiences included running an after-school program for children, providing parent education to families, and designing and implementing programs for women, children, and parents in our communities.

Also, I am a Certified Family Life Educator and a Child Passenger Safety Technician. Currently, I am working on my master's degree from Western Michigan University and am on track to one day become a licensed social worker.

My name is Mallory Harrier and I am the new Intake Coordinator for the Children's Advocacy Center. I am somewhat new to Gratiot County, but I have known since moving here that Child Advocacy is where I wanted to continue my career someday. I am so grateful to have been given that opportunity.

I have my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and spent the past five years teaching for the Great Start Readiness Program. Working with and advocating for children is something I am extremely passionate about. I am excited to be working with such a great team who all share the same mission. I look forward to doing my part in helping Child Advocacy continue to grow and playing a more active role in the community.
