Passionate About:

My passions include providing service and help in whatever way possible while expanding my knowledge and familiarity with medicine. With my major in biology, minor in chemistry, commitment to serve, and dedication to the health field, I hope to one day use my experiences, knowledge, and skills to enhance life in the future both locally and globally.

“The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.”

St. John\'s University Medical/Dental Brigade June 2015 Panama



Volunteer Activity Description

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. 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.
