Passionate About:

As a physician and journalist, I want to advocate health literacy around the world. I believe that health information should be an accessible and relatable topic for everyone. I am passionate about medicine, traveling, and journalism. In June 2013 I will be traveling to Nicaragua with the Global Medical Brigades to offer free healthcare. I hope that you will support my endeavor to learn more about health around the world as I begin my journey in studying the field of medicine. Please take the time to learn about this great organization and donate to our cause!

Volunteer Activity Message

Medical Brigade volunteers set up medical clinics in pre-identified communities to provide healthcare where access is limited. Each community receives a brigade every 3-4 months and between brigades the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and conducts community health worker trainings to empower local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of healthcare.

Public Health Brigade volunteers work side-by-side with community members to improve heath in their homes through the construction of eco-stoves, latrines, water storage units, and concrete floors. These projects and public health education taught to the communities help to decrease life threatening diseases.
