Passionate About:

I am a senior at Arizona State University studying Biochemistry with a concentration in Medicinal Chemistry. I'm also completing a minor in Studio Art. My future goal is to earn either an MD or MD/PhD, as I am passionate about research and would love to continue participating in it in the future. I joined Global Medical Brigades because I want to make an impact on the lives of people living in Honduras who have limited access to healthcare, water, and facilities that we take for granted here in the United States. I appreciate that Global Medical Brigades focuses not only on healthcare but also helps build infrastructure that will be around even after we leave. This will truly change the lives of the people in the surrounding area. I'm so excited to be part of this team!

About Us

Arizona State University is a chapter of Global Medical Brigades, an international movement of students and medical professionals working alongside local communities and staff to implement sustainable health systems. We work in remote, rural, and under resourced communities in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and Ghana who would otherwise have limited to no access to health care. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are provided access to healthcare and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends. nnIn conjunction with our Medical Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with economic development, sanitation and clean water projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.

Upcoming Initiatives

Arizona State University Medical Brigade May 2025 Belize

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama, Ghana, Guatemala, Greece and Belize. 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.
