Support Staff

Makenna "Maks" Kovacs

I have my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood and Family Studies as well as Disability Studies, having taken a focus on mental health. Both my academic studies and my own lived experiences have developed in me a deep understanding of the complexities in navigating mental wellbeing and substance abuse in our world. This has truly fostered my passion to empower others on their journey towards recovery, growth, and wellness. 

As a Residential Addiction Technician at Mayberry, I am dedicated to providing support and assistance to our residents. My role involves collaborating closely with the clinical team to ensure that our residents receive the guidance and care they need in alignment with the program’s mission and goals. I am committed to fostering a supportive environment that promotes healing, well-being, and a sense of community among our residents. 

My hobbies include crafting, hiking, baking, and reading. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my friends and partner and doing anything creative or outdoors. I also love spending quiet time reading with my cat.
