Passionate About:

Hello! I'm going to be a sophomore at Loyola University of Chicago this coming year, but I'm going to Honduras right before the year begins to help out a poor village without availability to healthcare in Honduras. This summer I am studying and researching nanophotonics at the University of New Mexico, by fabricating nanostructured substrates for cubic GaN growth (ask me if you want to know more). However, I'm more interested in (and majoring in) bioinformatics and neuroscience, as I plan on going to medical school to become a surgeon.

All donations are welcome to help out this Honduran village! Thank you for your support!

About Us

Chicago Brigades is a chapter of Global Medical Brigades, an international movement of students and medical professionals working alongside local communities and staff to implement sustainable health systems. We work in remote, rural, and under resourced communities in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and Ghana who would otherwise have limited to no access to health care. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are provided access to healthcare and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends. nnIn conjunction with our Medical Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with economic development, sanitation and clean water projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.
