Passionate About:

I know it's completely cliche, but I want to help make people's lives better. The biggest two ways I know of in changing the world is medicine or politics. While in politics you can make widespread changes, medicine is much more personal. You get to look the person in the eye as you help them along on their journey. People can be built up or broken by the care they receive, and I hope that with my compassion and enthusiasm, I can help build people build better lives for themselves.

About Us

The Anchorage Alaska (AKVAW) chapter of Volunteers Around the World (VAW) consists of students that are enthusiastic and committed about addressing the health disparities that currently exists in developing countries. Through close collaboration with the Non-Governmental Organization, Volunteers Around the World, our club at AKVAW strives towards providing rural communities in developing countries access towards medical treatment, dental treatment, medication, nutritional and health education.
