Ashley Sartain

My name is Ashley Sartain and I am a Sophomore at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. My major is Psychology and I am working towards being a Counselor one day. I have always loved helping people with problems that life throws at them, and decided to continue that love for the rest of my life through counseling. I have been on several missions trips to South Dakota Indian Reservation in Pine Ridge as well as to Malawi, Africa the summer of 2016. On both trips my team and I helped with local work projects, mentoring the youth, serving at local schools, churches, and orphanages, and speaking life and hope over the broken families in those communities. When I am in Tulsa, I serve at several different homeless outreaches and a local foster care shelter. All of these opportunities I see as valuable experience to my future career as a counselor and plan to continue growing in these organizations. I am always open to expanding my knowledge in any area of life, and am determined to reach my goal of obtaining my Master's degree to help more people in the future. Since my parent's got a divorce when I was young, I have been determined to have a strong marriage of my own. With this, I am wanting to more specifically pursue my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Counseling to help other families stick together and have a lasting, healthy marriage.
