Intern Profile – Ashley

My name is Ashley. Trevor, Wisconsin doesn’t make it on many maps, but it is my beautiful little hometown. I am majoring in Social Work and International Relations and minoring in Spanish. My heart lies in serving God and providing basic human rights to his children through policy improvements, justice, and advocacy. My internship was at Open Doors, an agency serving Porter County immigrants through the formation of a resource book. This internship, a grassroots community based initiative, is teaching me how dynamic social work practice is and how much dedication must go into writing a book from scratch. My Junior year, I worked with Family House, which provides supervised visitation between children and their parents who are working to regain custody of their children. After graduation, I will be going to St. Louis to work in the non-profit sector. end
