Passionate About:

I am passionate about the striking disparity in access to effective healthcare among underrepresented & underprivileged communities. I would love to bridge that gap by opening a private practice in a community like mine to offer proper care to those at a disadvantage. Growing up low-income, I've seen first-hand the trouble my family has faced to receive fair treatment for health problems in the absence of the financial means to cover it. I also want to provide information about the systemic issues that have caused minority groups to experience this, and ensure they are made aware of the very preventable illnesses plaguing persons of color due to lack of awareness.

Volunteer Activity Message

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