Passionate About:

My experiences with patients have helped me realize that making a positive difference in others’ lives is what drives me to pursue a career in the healthcare field. I admire that Global Medical Brigades targets the root cause of health issues rather than simply dispensing pills to treat symptoms that way the problem is not recurring. It can be easy for us to sometimes take for granted all of the resources we have to healthcare as well as clean water, food, shelter, etc. But there are some places that do not have access to some or any of these things. Everyone deserves to have access to those necessities and that is why I look forward to playing a part in supplying these communities to gain access to healthcare so that they can one day be self-sustaining.

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. During a Medical Brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.

Saying "Proverbs 11:24-25
"One gives freely, yet grows all the richer;
another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
Whoever brings blessing will be enriched,
and one who waters will himself be watered.”
God bless you all on your journey!"
