Some New Faces


Lauren, Madalyn, Morgan and Marra (left to right)
CSM is ramping up our Intern Program, and have already been blessed with four amazingly gifted young women. Each bring to us a unique perspective and skill set, matched to our prayers! We are excited to introduce them to you!
        Lauren Howton is a graduate from UA with a Masters degree in Accounting. Lauren is currently completing her Ministry Certificate from Highlands College, and CSM is blessed to to be her ministry sponsor for her Missions Directed Study. Previously, Lauren has served as the CFO at Christ Health Center and full-time volunteer at the Dream Center. Lauren is passionate about connecting people with their purpose and using her business skills to advance the Kingdom. She is working with our volunteer group management and other new ministry initiatives. When she is not at CSM, she loves to spend time with family, read and travel.
        Madalyn Miller is a Birmingham native majoring in Nutrition and Dietetics at Samford University. Her first encounter with CSM was in high school as a volunteer through her church, Mountain Brook Community Church. During her senior internship at CSM, Madalyn will use her knowledge to improve the nutrition of those in need in the community by assembling and distributing healthy dry and frozen goods. When she's not working with Christian Service Mission, she's hanging with her friends and eating sushi!
         Morgan Rhodes is a senior, Sociology major at Samford University. She is originally from Rosemark, TN just outside of Memphis.  She plans to pursue a degree in social work, and hopes that her internship here with us will give her insight into the world of community development. Morgan has jumped into case management for families for whom CSM is rebuilding houses, as well as community outreach events. When Morgan is not working with CSM, she's either reading, hanging with friends or at Target!
          Marra Gillison is a junior Economic major with a concentration in Social Entrepreneurship and a minor in Spanish from Johns Creek, GA. She recently was awarded the Social Entrepreneurship Fellowship Award and plans to pursue her dream in working in economic development within Central or South American countries. Marra is already busy at CSM with program development and social media. When she's not working with Christian Service Mission, she's hanging with her friends, drinking coffee, and shopping at Trader Joes!
        At this time, we are accepting inquiries for Summer and Fall internships. If you desire to pursue an intern position at CSM, please contact Judy Barber by email: judy@csmission.org
