My name is Marissa Fazio, I’m from Long Island, New York. I graduated from University of Massachusetts with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, minoring in Sociology. During my time at university, I volunteered for non-profit organizations such as March of Dimes and For the Kids foundation. Currently I work at a pediatric therapy agency providing special education and autism services. 

I started working for Peace360 Initiative in February 2021 as a mental health mentor. What drew me to the organization was its mission to alleviate human suffering and spread the values of peace universally. I’m very grateful to be a part of the Mental Health team and help contribute towards raising awareness/ending the stigma behind mental health.
