Passionate About:

My passion has always been helping people. Growing up in Brazil, I have witnessed firsthand how challenging it can be to access the best resources for health and well-being. However, I believe that with dedication and compassion, we can bridge the gap and make a meaningful difference. This belief drives my commitment to embrace this journey in Dominican Republic where we aim to bring essential healthcare services to underserved communities through mobile clinics. Your support will help us bring hope and healing to those who need it most.

Upcoming Initiatives

Georgia State University Medical Team A Internship to Dominican Republic, Jun 2025

 Join the Georgia State University chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship to Dominican Republic 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 Georgia State University will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Dominican Republic. 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. **Note: airfare is not included
