I'm currently a senior at Western Kentucky University. In May of 2019 I will be graduating as a double major in biology and chemistry. After obtaining my bachelors degrees, I hope to attend medical school and become a pediatrician. In addition to science, I am passionate about childhood education. I strongly believe that education plays a vital role in combating global health issues and even issues closer to home (such as poverty and opioid addiction). The more educated we are, the better able we are to serve and educate others. I hope to use my time as a volunteer with Global Brigades to bring my knowledge and passion to the forefront and lend a helping-hand to those in need. I can’t wait to see what this journey has in store!
