Passionate About:

Hi there!

I'm currently a student at Grinnell College as a Psychology and Neuroscience major. Besides school, I'm passionate about dance and art! Since I was 3, I've always called a dance studio home. I've had the honor of working with artists from a variety of backgrounds. I've also had the privilege of dancing in a pre-professional ballet program! Along with dance, I enjoy spending time with friends and family going on Netflix binges, cooking, or just chatting!

In terms of school, with Neuroscience, I hope to study and understand the relationship between brain and behavior in animals in the wild vs. animals in captivity in order to promote animal equality and to create an appreciation towards the beauty of animal intelligence.

I want to use Psychology/Neuroscience to diminish the disparities cross-culturally. I'm concurrently pursuing my Master's degree in Public Health with Behavioral Science. As society globalizes, disparities between cultures are only exaggerated and not ameliorated. My goal is to create equality in health care and mental wellness through the understanding of human behavior.

I am fervidly passionate about creating a well-rounded definition of equality. My passion is not sustainable on my own, however. I humbly appreciate any and all contributions and support that help achieve my goals!

Thank you!
Jamie Schafroth

Grinnell College Medical/Dental/Public Health Brigade March 2015 Nicaragua



Jamie's Message

In March, I'm going to Nicaragua with a group of students to not only learn first-hand what it's like to work in a medical field and international public health. Our goal is to help create sustainable healthcare and to form relationships with families who don't currently have access to basic health necessities.

Please donate to this great cause!

Volunteer Activity Description

Medical Brigade volunteers have the opportunity to shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. 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.
