My name is Kaylie Allen (she/her) and I live in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. I am a full time law student entering my third (and final, yay!) year at Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law.
I am originally from West Virginia and graduated from Bethany College in 2021 with a Psychology and Criminal Justice degree.
Outside of the classroom, I enjoy reading, visiting my parents, and searching for new favorite coffee shops. My two year old puppy, Ruby, often tags along and appreciates learning which places have the best dog treats or “pup cups”. Leaving Ruby will be the hardest part of my intern summer, but I am excited to embark on this journey, and she is excited to be spoiled by her grand-paw-ents while I am away!
I have never missed a single year of church camp and am thrilled that my favorite summer tradition will be continuing, only in a new capacity. My goal is to share my lifelong love of camp with each group I meet, not only through silly campfire songs and games, but also through peace and justice workshops. My focus will be on healthcare access and disparities awareness, which I hope will bring new knowledge and perspectives to all who engage.
I know that this summer will bring many joys and challenges, all of which will further my own faith journey and hopefully those of the people I meet along the way. I am eager to kick off my travels on June 4, and look forward to spreading words of peace and justice, sharing in new communities, and maybe even finding the world’s best s’more along the way!
