Ann Marie Morgan Program Coordinator I am the Program Coordinator for the Mackner Lab. I am excited to work with clients and volunteers for the mentoring program. Prior to coming to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, I worked for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio for 18 years. I have enjoyed helping volunteers, children, and parents navigate through the mentoring relationship. Seeing the match relationships grow and mature has been a joy. I have a Bachelor’s from Kent State University. While in high school, I worked in research for Children’s Hospital. I am happy to combine my mentoring experience, past research, and love for children and families with the Crohn’s and Colitis Connect Mentoring Program.
