Passionate About:

I am passionate about giving back to others and simply just helping in anyway I can. Giving back can be very broad, and has a different meaning to everyone, for me personally to give back is to pour into others cup what they may not be able to pour for themselves. When you are fortunate enough to have things and access to different things that everyone doesn't have, I truly believe that is imparitive to do your part and give back. To help doesn't always mean physical things or monetary donations but being that listening ear, assisting in a project, etc.

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.
