Jacelyn Ashcraft
My name is Jacelyn Ashcraft, and I am currently a junior studying Human Development with a focus on Biological Foundations. I plan to pursue a Master's degree in Occupational Therapy. I have a deep passion for learning about family dynamics and enjoy working with individuals on the autism spectrum. I believe that the courses offered through the School of Family Life are incredibly valuable and applicable to any career path. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time outdoors, playing volleyball, and being with friends and family.

Caroline Baldwin
I'm Caroline! I am studying Family Services within the Family Studies emphasis. I call Minnesota home, but I also spent some time living in Manila and Dubai while I grew up. I love learning about why people act the way they do and a huge part of that is their family upbringing! I also just love hearing others' stories which naturally drew me to this major. I am also passionate about equitable policy. I plan to do a dual Master's degree in Social Work and Law after I graduate this April! In my free time I love to travel, bake, and yap with my friends. Join SFLSA! We are here for you!
