I will be traveling with a group of students from UC Santa Cruz to Panama with an organization called Global Medical Brigades. Global Medical Brigades is part of the world's largest student-led health and sustainable development organization called Global Brigades. Each year Blobal Brigades mobilizes thousands of students around the world to participate in 9 different skills-based programs to improve the quality of life in under-resourced communities .

On my upcoming Brigade, I will be working hand-in-hand with doctors, dentists, lawyers and community memebers. I will be participating in a week long program that manages clinics on a daily basis. These services are created to treat over 10,500 patients in rural, underserved communites that otherwise would have no access to medical care.

Please join me in supporting the work that I will be doing in Panama. Any support you can give will ake a tremendous difference. Please let me know if you have any questions about my trip. I sincerely appreciate allof your positive thoughts and support!
