Christian Mackey
Master’s Student in Nutritional Sciences
Christian Mackey is a Master of Public Health student in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. This summer, Christian interned with Project Healthy Schools, a collaborative between the University of Michigan and several communities around the state.
His internship took him to many middle schools in the Ann Arbor area—both to classrooms and school gardens—to spread the word about healthy eating to students and their families.
