Mara Bresnahan is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner student at Northeastern University and a registered nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital, with a background in pediatric and adult psychiatric care. With over 22 years in nursing, she has supported patients and families through some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives, giving her a broad perspective on mental health across the lifespan. Her many years as an accessibility consultant in film, media, and the arts further shape her commitment to inclusive care.
