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!

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Brigades offers Medical TeleBrigades, a virtual international medical volunteer program for people who care about equitable access to healthcare. During a Medical TeleBrigade, participants have the opportunity to apply and build upon their medical knowledge through skill-based volunteering, foster cultural competency through virtual immersion, and deliver real impact through our local team in Honduras by participating in live medical urban clinics and supporting rural clinics. TeleBrigades align with/fit in/supports Global Brigades’ initiatives to actively break down the barriers that people living in Honduras face by allowing them to attain proper medical services regardless of their location or socioeconomic status. Rural clinics reach partner communities on a quarterly basis, while our urban clinic provides daily services and facilitates professional medical care and access to medicine at low cost. All year round, 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.
