I am a second year pre-med student at Loyola University Chicago majoring in International Studies and Neuroscience. I consider my glass half full and am a strong believer in perseverance. I am fascinated by new cultures and am always adding to my list of new experiences. This chance to serve on a medical brigade to Honduras is very exciting for me in that it will not only give me the unique clinical experience in a primitive medical environment but also allow me to directly make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate than myself.
