Passionate About:

For all of those who know me and for those new who don't, I have been passionate about medicine and changing the face of healthcare ever since I was 3. Some may call me crazy or overly ambitious, but facing hundreds of individuals who simply do not have access to basic healthcare helps motivate me to do what I love to do and become what I want to become. Last year, my dreams were fulfilled as we traveled to Ghana, Africa and helped a community of over 1000 individuals who changed my life in the most inspirational and humble way possible. This year as we gear up to travel to new territory, I plan on giving the same healthcare, reassurance, and first aid to those in need. A dream turned into reality that soon became my life's passion. Seeing the looks on each individuals faces as you cared for them is an experience that will truly stay with me forever. So as family members, friends, acquaintances, and those unknown to me, please help me continue living out this absolutely incredible dream and support the cause.

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Medical and Dental Brigades in Ghana work alongside each other on a 10-day long brigade in under-resourced communities around the central region of Ghana. Each medical and dental brigade incorporates a public health portion at the end of the 4 clinical days. The 10-day medical and public health brigade provides volunteers with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on communities while gaining hands-on experience in the field of international medicine. Prior to travel, volunteers collect medicines, recruit health professionals and fundraise. Once in Ghana, the team will visit one partner community to administer a 4 day-long clinic and conduct health workshops. During clinical days, community members are able to consult doctors and dentists, fill any necessary prescriptions, receive necessary dental care, and sit-in on health education lectures.
