Passionate About:

I am extremely passionate about helping others as well as traveling around the world. It brings me joy to assist in making a positive impact on someone's life. Providing medical and dental attention to people living in third world countries will help maintain and improve their overall health. My favorite part is being able to interact with the people of Nicaragua, bond with them, and learn about their life. Please help me make a difference in someone else's life.

About Us

Chapman University is a chapter of Global Medical Brigades, an international movement of students and medical professionals working alongside local communities and staff to implement sustainable health systems. We work in remote, rural, and under resourced communities in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and Ghana who would otherwise have limited to no access to health care. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are provided access to healthcare and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends. nnIn conjunction with our Medical Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with economic development, sanitation and clean water projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.
