Passionate About:

As a physician and journalist, I want to advocate health literacy around the world. I believe that health information should be an accessible and relatable topic for everyone. I am passionate about medicine, traveling, and journalism. In June 2013 I will be traveling to Nicaragua with the Global Medical Brigades to offer free healthcare. I hope that you will support my endeavor to learn more about health around the world as I begin my journey in studying the field of medicine. Please take the time to learn about this great organization and donate to our cause!

Brooklyn College Med/Public Health Nicaragua Jun 14



Volunteer Activity Description

Medical Brigade volunteers set up medical clinics in pre-identified communities to provide healthcare where access is limited. Each community receives a brigade every 3-4 months and between brigades the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and conducts community health worker trainings to empower local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of healthcare.

Public Health Brigade volunteers work side-by-side with community members to improve heath in their homes through the construction of eco-stoves, latrines, water storage units, and concrete floors. These projects and public health education taught to the communities help to decrease life threatening diseases.
