Passionate About:

I am a second year dental hygiene student at UNC Chapel Hill. I absolutely love what I do and couldn't have picked a better field of practice. I was fortunate enough to travel to Nicaragua last year thanks to my friends and family who donated. It was an incredible experience that I learned a lot from. I can't wait to return to Nicaragua to work side-by-side with my peers and local leaders of the community to better the health and environment for those who are in need. Please help me raise the money I need to once again be able to put my education and skills to use and to help Nicaragua gain more sustainable, knowledgeable, and healthy communities.

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Brigades offers 7 day Medical Brigades for volunteers to participate in throughout the year. 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.
