Meet the Interns

myLIFEspeaks is fortunate to have amazing people who believe in the vision and mission.  These people are the “interns” that make the myLIFEspeaks world a better place.  Some of these people are in the US and some are in Haiti.  Regardless of where they reside during their internship, they are part of the myLIFEspeaks FAMILY.  If you’re interested in being a part of the myLIFEspeaks intern family, check out our current Intern needs HERE. 

Morgan Clair–Summer Office Intern (2012)

Morgan

Operational Intern (August 2012-)

Morgan just completed her first year at Berry College as an accounting major.  She works in the myLIFEspeaks office as our Summer Office Intern.  What that means is she does a little bit of everything.  If you’re going on a trip, have been on a trip, or want to go on a trip to Haiti with myLIFEspeaks, you either will or have already received a phone call from Morgan.  She makes sure our teams are registered with the US Embassy in Haiti, she registers all team members for their travel insurance, and makes sure everyone has their paperwork filled out.  She’s a systems GURU!  She makes LIFE for Missy Wilson, the Executive Director, much easier.

Elizabeth Ingram–One Year Therapy Intern (August 2012- )

Elizabeth Ingram

Elizabeth graduated from Eastern Kentucky University in 2009 with a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy. Her passion is working with children with disabilities. Elizabeth is developing a therapy program in Haiti to serve the children of myLIFEspeaks and the community of Neply with the vision that children with special needs will reach their highest potential and be viewed as valued members of their culture. Elizabeth has a heart for orphans and looks forward to the day that she can decrease the number of orphans and become a mother through adoption!

Anne Marie Stern–One Year Social Work (TBD)

Anne Marie in Haiti

You might recognize Anne Marie.  She spent a few months on the myLIFEspeaks Campus in 2012.  She began as a willing “helper” for whatever needed to be done around the Campus or in the Community…and she wound up being the Interim On-Site Director.  Now Anne Marie is coming back and we are all excited.  She is bringing her amazing skills as a Child and Family Services worker and her background in Social Work to Neply.  She will be helping us create the myLIFEspeaks Social Work program for the families we work with in Neply.  With her help we will be able to not only provide services to children but we will also be able to help their entire FAMILY.  She is currently raising funds to be able to be in Neply.  If you would like to help contribute to her fundraising efforts, just click the yellow donate button below.

PAST INTERNS

But Still Members of the myLIFEspeaks FAMILY

Izzy Glinski–6 Month Special Educational Intern (July 2102-December 2012)

Izzy just graduated from Morehead State University with an Elementary & Special Education (Learning & Behavior Disorders) degree. She will be teaming up with the education director in Haiti in helping make it possible for every student to learn at their own pace along with their peers as much as possible. Inclusion is important to her, as well as the myLIFEspeaks family. She will do everything she can to make sure every child is getting what they need to succeed and shine their light throughout the world. Izzy is very eager to begin working in Haiti and hopes to educate not only the children, but also the community about the importance of every person, disability or not.
