HMC Intern Highlight: Lauren Burris

Lauren Burris, Senior at Creighton University, double majoring in psychology and social work

“When I was given the chance to complete my social work practicum at Heart Ministry Center, I was eager to immerse myself in the community; but I never could have anticipated that I would walk into something far more profound than I imagined. Here, at Heart Ministry, I have been welcomed into a mission much larger than myself, surrounded by individuals who truly embody its mission and values. Even in the brief time I have spent here, I have gained invaluable tools to become a more passionate advocate and a more compassionate person, leaving me with a renewed and deeper vision of the world around me.”
