Meet our second Internship Scholarship Awardee, Kendra Minichello!🎉

"My name is Kendra Minichello! I graduated from Ohio University with my Master of Science in Human Development and Family Sciences - clinical child life concentration in May 2025. I feel called to child life as the work I will be doing involves all of my passions: making the hospital environment a less scary place for children, my belief in the power of play and psychosocial support, and bridging the gap between the patient, family, and medical team. I completed my practicum at Akron Children’s Hospital in Summer 2024, and I am excited to begin my internship in January at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, Indiana. I am beyond grateful for the GLACLP’s support during this pivotal moment in my life and future career."

We would like to recognize our first Internship Scholarship Awardee, Lilia Newkirk!🎉

"I am honored to introduce myself as a recipient of the GLACLP Winter/Spring Internship Scholarship. My name is Lilia Newkirk, and I am originally from Evansville, Indiana. As a 2025 graduate from Ball State University, I completed my bachelor’s degree in Child Life in May of this year. Throughout my four years in college, I fulfilled another goal of competing as a NCAA Division I athlete as a member of the Ball State Swimming and Diving Team. I proudly served as captain of the team my senior year and was grateful for this leadership opportunity. Since graduating, I have completed two Child Life practicums at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital and Children’s National Hospital and have been working as a Developmental Therapist within the Indiana First Steps early intervention program. These opportunities have provided me with additional experiences interacting with children and families. My Child Life journey will now continue with an internship at Norton Children’s Hospital where I am excited to be fostering my skills within the healthcare setting!"
