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 Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. During a Medical Brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
