APSE Welcomes Summer Interns
APSE welcomes two (paid!) summer interns in 2021, Ellie Kishter and Fermina Lopez!
In partnership with Broad Futures and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), National APSE staff are excited to be working with two summer interns as they continue to build their skills for employment and explore future career paths.
Meet Fermina Lopez
Fermina lives in Portland, Oregon. She wants to become a Peer Mentor/Job Coach for people with disabilities, as she has benefited from support through Vocational Rehabilitation. Fermina is also working on a business plan to work as a motivational speaker and offer workshops to share her story as a person living with an intellectual and physical disability.
Meet Ellie Kishter
Ellie is from Cantonsville, Maryland. She has always wanted to help others, and has been a volunteer with her community church for many years. Ellie will be working with APSE staff on a variety of projects throughout the summer. In Ellie's free time, she likes to read, draw, and write stories.
AAPD is a convener, connector, and catalyst for change, increasing the political and economic power of people with disabilities.
