Passionate About:

I am passionate about making a change in the world and leaving a mark on the world. For me it isn't all about saving someone. It's about being that moment of comfort and relief from pain. Being able to put a smile on a person's face.

Upcoming Initiatives

University of Nebraska Kearney Medical Internship to Guatemala, June 2025

 Join the University of Nebraska Kearney chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship in Guatemala 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 Global at the University of Nebraska Kearney will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Guatemala. One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW Global is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2023, VAW Global treated over 17,500 patients and we aspire to treat over 20,000 in 2024! One of the things that makes 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. **Note: Airfare is not included
