Passionate About:

I am a freshman student at UCCS striving towards a bachelors degree in Biology and pursuing a career in the medical field. I hope to enroll into medical school in 2020 to work towards becoming a physicians assistant. I am truly passionate about people. I absolutely love helping others and bringing smiles to people but I also enjoy a challenge. I am especially interested in children and feel very compelled to help them with the skills I will learn throughout my education. Helping others is an absolute passion of mine and the medical field impacts lives in such a substantial way. This trip would allow me to experience the gift of medicine in such an amazing way. God is really calling me to do this and I would be so blessed if you would consider helping me to go on this journey and help the people of Nicaragua. Thank you for your consideration!

Volunteer Activity Message

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.
