Hello, everyone!
My name is Ashlyn Baldwin. I am from Birmingham, AL, but I currently live with my mom in Gardendale, AL for the summer. I usually am in Florence, AL where I go to the University of North Alabama where I study Criminal Justice and a minor in Crime Scene Investigations. My end goal for my career, as of right now, is to become a Crime Scene Investigator. I’m also getting married a week after Closing Retreat this summer, so I'm fully in wedding planning mode too! I’m super excited that I get to marry the love of my life soon!
I have many passions other than showing God’s Love and spreading awareness about social justice topics including reading, watching tv shows and movies, listening to podcasts, playing with my animals, kayaking, and almost anything outside. Here are some of my favorite books, movies, and tv shows:
Books - The Hunger Games series, The Shining, and all of the Harry Potter books.
TV Shows - Doctor Who, Parks and Recreation, and Schitt’s Creek
Movies - any Marvel movie, Frozen 2, and Hamilton
Podcasts - And That’s Why We Drink, Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet, and Morbid
A lot of people are surprised when I say I’m going to be a cop and that I am so active within issues in our world. I want to bring as much change as I can to make the world a better place. People will always assume things about me and I am okay with that. I kinda have to be. I believe that this internship will help me in the future when controversial topics and conversations happen.
I’m looking forward to meeting new people, spreading awareness, and learning new things!
