Representative Crystal Lett is a proud hometown native of Hilliard and graduate of Hilliard Davidson High School. Growing up in Hilliard, Rep. Lett came to love the inclusive and exciting environment of Central Ohio. After high school, she graduated from Ohio State University in 2008 with a degree in Political Science. She was inspired to work with children dealing with mental illness after becoming an advocate for her brother, David, who was managing a complex array of mental health issues and substance abuse. As such, after graduation, she became a Case Manager at North Central Mental Health (NCMH) where she worked with children between the ages of 14 and 21 years old who suffered from severe and symptomatic mental illness. In this role, Crystal connected children to vital community resources and often partnered with local schools, housing providers, non-profit organizations, faith-based organizations, local business partners, and healthcare providers to ensure kids were living successfully in the community.
