Intern Profile – Katie

My name is Katie and I am a senior social work major. I also have a minor in psychology. For my junior internship, I was placed at New Vistas High School in Portage. I worked primarily with students with IEPs to make accommodations in the classroom. I also did case management. During the summer, I worked with children with emotional and behavioral disorders as a camp counselor. I discovered I enjoy working with this population. This year, I interned at Campagna Academy in Schererville. I worked with their Foster Care program. I accompanied case managers on home and school visits, and sat in on therapy sessions. I also assisted in foster parent training and a variety of forms of documentation. After graduation, I will pursue a master’s of social work and follow my passion for working with children and families. end
