Mona Grudt Star Trek

Mona Grudt played Ensign Graham in the Star Trek: The Next Generation fourth season episode “Identity Crisis” in 1991.

Ensign was a commissioned rank, the equivalent of which was used by the service organizations of many civilizations. As a traditional naval grade, ensign was the most junior line officer rank below the lieutenant grades, usually immediately under lieutenant or lieutenant junior grade

In Starfleet, ensign was usually the first rank assigned to new officers upon graduation from Starfleet Academy.

An ensign’s primary duty was professional growth, both as a leader and as an occupational specialist. Ensigns were mentored by more senior officers as well as their (nominally) subordinate chief petty officers as part of their development as Starfleet leaders. (DS9: “The Ship”, “Starship Down”) As ensigns proved themselves more capable, they were considered for promotion into the lieutenant tier.

On some of the larger starship classes, such as the Galaxy-class starships, it was not uncommon for veteran and seasoned enlisted personnel to have ensigns working for them as technicians, thus having the ensign “learning the ropes” of the more technical aspects of starship design, such as transporter components.
