Passionate About:

As many of you know, I have volunteered on several mission trips and helped out often at the Fort Morgan Methodist Church. For the past three years, I have also worked as a nursing assistant. Since Fall 2017, I have attended ASU and am pursuing a degree in biochemistry. This semester, I am serving at a local organization in Tempe called Future for Kids as a mentor to trauma-sensitive youth in our community. From my experiences, I think the thing I'm most passion about is simply helping out others. Whether it be my next door neighbor or someone living in a third world country thousands of miles from me, I love lending a hand to my fellow humans and making a positive impact in their lives.

About Us

Arizona State 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.

Upcoming Initiatives

Arizona State University Medical Brigade May 2025 Belize

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.
