Intern Profile – Bethany

My name is Bethany. My family lives in Indianapolis, Indiana. I am a senior social work major, Christ College honors scholar, and urban studies minor. For my senior field placement, I interned at Porter Starke Services in the admissions office. My primary responsibilities were completing CAMS and AMSA assessment interviews and recording them in state and agency databases. This information determines the level and duration of services that Medicaid clients can receive from Porter Starke. This is much different from my junior internship at New Vistas Alternative High School in Portage, IN, where I served as a “guidance counselor” to the students. In the future, I hope to be working within an advocacy-oriented organization that supports building community with diverse populations to promote healing, accessibility, equality and social justice. end
