Passionate About:

I personally enjoy the challenge of learning about biology, the human body, effects of medicine and almost anything associated with human and health. I watched my parents go from healthy individuals to battling each other in and out of hospitals in one year. In that time, I sacrificed a lot to nurse them, give them time and attention, and help them understand their illness. My personal experience really inspired me to pursue a career in the medical field because I want to be able to help others who are going through the same situation. I want to improve patients\' health, provide families trust and support, and help patients understand their conditions. Besides an interest in the medical field, I enjoy baking cupcakes, DIY projects, and dance!

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Brigades offers a 9 day Medical/Public Health Brigade for volunteers to participate in throughout the year in Nicaragua. 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 communities 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 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.
