Passionate About:

I'm someone who is very passionate about ensuring equitable access to quality healthcare of everyone, regardless of their circumstances. I grew up in an area where it was very uncommon for people to seek medical attention because there were obstacles socioeconomically and culturally which really limited access to care. Because I grew up in that environment, I've all ways had a curiosity towards medicine and helping others. As an adult now, I quickly grew to want to better understand and help with these disparities which led me here.

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama, Ghana, Guatemala, Greece and Belize. 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.
