Passionate About:

I am a fourth year neuroscience major at UC Santa Cruz. I joined this VAW trip to Peru as a way to use the opportunities and education I've been lucky to have to make a significant positive impact in the lives of people that haven't been as fortunate. I've always been passionate about helping others in any way I can, but this is an opportunity for me to have a much greater effect on people's lives than I've ever had before.

Join the UCSC chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship to Peru 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 at UCSC will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Peru.

One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2019, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2020. 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.
