Lauren Huitsing | Boundless Summer Intern

Happy summer! My name is Lauren Huitsing, and I’m so excited to join the Boundless team this summer as their public relations intern.

I’m going into my senior year as a public relations major at Taylor University in Upland, IN. I’ve always been passionate about the power of storytelling and connecting with people, and I’m so grateful I get to pursue that passion here at Focus on the Family.

As part of my internship I will be working closely with Lisa Anderson and Bry Shirin, helping to spotlight the significant work Boundless does every day. I’m looking forward to promoting Boundless, engaging with the community of followers, and learning from a team that truly values the mission of helping young adults navigate early adulthood in a Christ-like way.

I can’t wait to grow, learn, and make an impact here at Boundless!

PS: Lisa’s Birthday was YESTERDAY! Help us celebrate her by shooting her a birthday greeting at [email protected] or via our social feeds/DMs on Insta and Facebook. Happy birthday, Lisa!

Preview of Next Week:

On the Show — Compatibility in marriage, how to get past your partner having been married before, and what makes a small group successful

On the Site — Confession, whether “follow your dreams” is the best advice, and taking initiative in friendships
