As young as twelve years old, I dreamed of becoming a Physician Assistant- I always appreciated this profound idea of being able to heal those who are going through arguably the worst times of their lives when they aren’t in good health; especially in the Emergency Departments where I personally saw family and friends suffer from pathological (particularly inherited) or traumatic ailments. While I am not officially a PA, I am currently an EMT and I feel as though Global Medical Brigades affords me the opportunity to satisfy my insatiable desire to help people through healthcare. Volunteering in Jinotega, Nicaragua would give me a wide spectrum of knowledge and offer a creative and thought-provoking aspect of global health that I would enjoy and allow me to use my current expertise in areas that need it most.
