Passionate About:

The passion that drives me each day is my love for helping others, science, and medicine. I am a senior majoring in Cellular and Molecular Biology with a minor in Combined Sciences. My first ever medical outreach trip to Alajuelita, Costa Rica in 2017 is the main source of inspiration for one of my most endearing achievements, which was bringing a VAW medical outreach chapter to Stephen F. Austin State University. The past year that I have been a Medical Team Leader with Volunteers Around the World has been the most rewarding experience. Since going on my first medical outreach trip with VAW to Vietnam, I am preparing to go on my next one to the Dominican Republic this summer. After I graduate at the end of the year, I plan to get my Masters in Biomedicine before going to medical school!

Volunteer Activity Message

Join the Austin State chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Vietnam this upcoming winter! Volunteers 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 at Austin State will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Vietnam.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2017, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2018. One of the things that make 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 goal will be updated once flights are purchased, tentatively the week of August 31-September 7, 2018
