Oswego & Aurora, IL

Lauren says: "I have always had a passion for helping others, no matter the size of the impact. I knew that taking a small step could make a big difference. As I gather more experience within the field I am reminded daily that the work that we contribute to society is extremely helpful to many individuals and different aspects of their lives. I aspire to help and guide others throughout their journey. Throughout my past internship, working with high school students has been a wonderful experience that has taught me how to advocate for individuals that come from various and different backgrounds. I would love to create a safe and welcoming environment for all, especially those who may feel hesitant in seeking help. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet each and every one of you and grow from our interactions!"
