This summer, we had the opportunity to work with an amazing intern: Ebony Bailey. A recent graduate of the University of Southern California, Ebony came to AABLI eager and full of creative and innovative ideas. She joined the team to help us expand our social media presence and to enhance our online resources. Though we are sad to see her go, we are very excited about her next chapter in life. Ebony is off to Peru for a year. She will be assisting MedLife, a nonprofit health organization, with its photography and social media needs. We are sure Ebony's impact on MedLife will be as positive and permanent as her impact here at AABLI. Bon voyage, Ebony!
