Michelle and Alaina have been interning at HSP for the past 8 weeks and have thoroughly enjoyed their experience thus far.
Michelle is a senior at University of Notre Dame majoring in Spanish and sociology. Her Spanish speaking skills are greatly appreciated and have helped HSP better communicate with Spanish speaking families. Her favorite part of working here is being able to communicate with the clients directly and being able to see the positive impact of what HSP does on a daily basis. Michelle’s duties include referring low-income seniors to programs providing essential healthcare equipment such as eyeglasses, wheel chairs, and hearing aids at little to no cost. Her work at HSP has helped her realize how small acts can have a great impact on the community.
Alaina is a junior at University of Iowa studying journalism and mass communication. Fittingly, her work here has been focused on the public relations aspect of HSP; she writes press releases and creates displays for presentations that highlight HSP programs and fundraising goals. Her favorite part of working at HSP has been getting to know everyone, from staff, fellow interns, to the people HSP serves. Alaina’s best moments at HSP are when she sees how what we do positively affects the families.
HSP would not be able to function without the assistance of its talented student interns who volunteer their services.
