Passionate About:

I've always been passionate about healthcare, driven by my love for helping others and my desire for a career that is both fulfilling and meaningful. My passion deepened during a mission trip to Guatemala in the ninth grade, where I had the privilege of meeting incredible individuals facing significant challenges. The experience opened my eyes to the importance of providing compassionate care to those who may not have easy access to it. The fulfillment in knowing I can contribute to someone's well-being while learning from their strength is what I value most about opportunities such as this. I've always admired healthcare professionals who have touched my life, and I hope to embody that same dedication and impact in my work. Additionally, I have a creative side that I love to incorporate into my life. Whether through innovative problem solving, patient engagement, or simply just bringing a fresh perspective to any of my tasks, this blend of creativity and compassion is central to how and what I truly am passionate about.

University of Georgia Team A Medical Internship to Peru, May 2025

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the University of Geogira Team A chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship to Peru this upcoming Summer! interns will work in mobile medical clinics, where they will have the opportunity to intake patients, conduct public health surveys, take vitals, shadow local physicians, work in the pharmacy, teach education classes, and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW Global at University of Georgia Team A will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Peru.

One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW Global is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2023, VAW Global treated over 17,500 patients and we aspire to treat over 20,000 in 2024! One of the things that make our mobile clinics unique is that we not only triage and diagnose patients, but also provide them with the basic medications needed. Fundraising for medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.
